The San Francisco International Arts Festival, running from April 29 to May 10, showcases over 50 artists from nine countries. Founded in 2002, the festival aims to foster equity and cross-cultural awareness through various artistic expressions.

Notably, three dance artists were unable to attend due to visa issues, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by the festival in promoting global artistic collaboration.
