2026 Exhibiting Advocacy Organization Application

Applications for the 17th Annual Festival will open on January 5, 2027.

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 16th Annual Dance for World Community Festival, Greater Boston’s largest and famously inclusive dance event.

The indoor/outdoor event will feature five performance stages, diverse dance forms presented by over 60 dance groups, free introductory-level dance classes and table exhibits along “Advocacy Way” on Massachusetts Avenue (between Bow Street and Putnam Avenue) by area nonprofits.

A free event for all to enjoy, the Festival brings together local dance performers, instructors, other artists and activists from social service and advocacy agencies to raise awareness about the growing urgency for world peace, and social and environmental justice. Advocacy Way is a unique opportunity for activist and community service groups to connect with local arts groups and their diverse audiences and raise critical local and global issues that can create social change.
