Interested in becoming a vendor, exhibitor or performer? We'd love to hear from you!

The World Beat Festival is Oregon’s largest multicultural event, and the largest gathering in downtown Salem each year. The Festival provides space where people can gather to share their cultural heritage and traditions through music, dance, the arts, and food. We welcome applications from vendors and exhibitors who share our core values and wish to promote intercultural understanding in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
