From September 18 to 21, 2025, Baltimore will transform into a global stage of cultural diversity with the Baltimore International Folklore Festival – an event that promises to gather dances, traditions, and energy from every corner of the world. Organized by the Imanay Cultural Foundation, the festival aims to create a unique intercultural space where participants can meet, share, and experience the richness of folklore art, as well as connect with audiences in one of the most recognizable and culturally vibrant cities in the USA.

Baltimore – just 45 minutes from the capital Washington – is a city full of history and cosmopolitan spirit. With its iconic architecture, legendary harbor, and vibrant atmosphere, it offers the perfect setting for a celebration of global tradition. For four days, dance groups, ballet ensembles, and folklore performers will showcase their identity through dance and music – in a competition without age limits and with recognition for every participant.

Participants will have the opportunity to join workshops, enjoy a gala evening and awards ceremony, and build connections and friendships across borders. The organizers provide comfortable accommodation, delicious food, and convenient logistics, so all you have to focus on is your performance on stage.

If your group is ready to tell its story through dance and tradition, don’t wait – apply now and become part of the unforgettable edition of the Baltimore International Folklore Festival 2025!
