THANK YOU to all of our amazing artists, volunteers, funders and audience members for making the 24th Youth Fest 2016 a fantastic success! The 3-day festival, held May 27th-29th, exemplified the power of capoeira to bring people of all ages together in celebration of culture and community!

ACSF youth participated in a master class with Professora Yara and Professor Côco-gaining a memorable learning experience and connecting with high-level Brazilian artists. For the Batizado Graduation Ceremony & Performance more than 50 youth partook in a traditional cultural ceremony and had the chance to perform for a packed public audience. Then, on Sunday ACSF youth and adults brought capoeira movement and music to the streets of the Mission District through participation in Carnaval SF Parade! Many thanks for your support of this incredible cultural event series!
