Join us at World BeatSalem's World Beat Festival (www.worldbeatfestival.org/) is held annually on the last weekend in June. This year, the festival will focus on the world of drumming. Join us for a 2 hour shift at the SFFC booth to inform the community about the work being done and opportunities for involvment. If you're working at the event, it's easy to coordinate your shift so you don't miss any of the excitement. We have a great location at the event where you won't miss out on any of the action.
