The Living Traditions Festival will feature a wide range of food, live performances, and art from the many communities and cultures that have made Utah their home. Additionally, there will be hands-on workshops, food demos, kids’ activities, and Sundance film screenings.

“The Living Traditions Festival supports diverse artistic traditions and perspectives through the presentation of both historical and contemporary customs. By facilitating thoughtful conversations around the unique qualities of various cultures and the similarities of the human experience, community bonds are created,” a press release said.

One highlight of the festival is that on Saturday, May 17, Grammy-winning Cuban-Canadian musician Alex Cuba will be a headliner, performing on the North Stage at 8:30 p.m. Cuba is known for blending funk, soul, and pan-Latin influences. His accomplishments include two Juno Awards, four Latin Grammys, and a 2022 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album.

“Experience the joy, belonging, and sense of home Alex brings to all his performances at Living Traditions,” Living Traditions said in a post online.
