Salem World Beat Festival and Racing Dragons

Dragon Boats that is... This weekend is the World Beat Festival in Salem at Riverfront Park. The festival is put on by the Salem Multicultural Institute and is a 2 day, non-stop program of international music, dance, food, folklore and more.

This will be the first year that I have attended the festival! We are looking forward to checking it out. We always go to The Bite the last weekend in July, but just have never made it to the World Beat Festival. June tends to be a very busy month for Salem Oregon Real Estate.

This year my husband is participating in the Dragon Boat Races. The first two races start at 9:30 and 11:30, so come on down and help me cheer my husband's team on! If you plan on being there for the races let me know.

A portion of the proceeds for the festival go to benefit the cultural programs for children at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village. So, let's have some fun and benefit the community at the same time.
