Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Yerba Buena Gardens Festival will partner with American Indian Contemporary Arts to present the 27th annual Native Contemporary Arts Festival (NCAF) on June 21, 2026.
This multi-cultural gathering and Father’s Day tradition will celebrate, honor, and acknowledge the original peoples of California and around the globe. The Native Contemporary Arts Festival brings together Californian and urban Native Americans as well as the Indigenous people of the Americas from Alaska to Patagonia and the Pacific Rim through artistic presentations of music, dance, poetry, and crafts. All of the live performances and interactive art experiences will be outdoors, admission-free, family-friendly, clean and sober, ADA compliant, easily accessible by public transport, and open to the public in San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Gardens.
Organization Summary
YBG Festival presents classical, world, and jazz music, contemporary and traditional dance, theater, children’s and family programs, and cultural events reflecting the rich cultures and creativity of the region. Artistic excellence, inclusion, diversity and innovation are at the heart of our mission. As the only curated arts park fully dedicated to the long-term presentation of free arts and cultural programs, Yerba Buena Gardens has a unique place in the cultural landscape of San Francisco.
