Join us for the inaugural We the People Multicultural Arts Festival on August 29, 2026, from noon to 8 p.m. in Layton Commons Park. The free festival celebrates the many cultures, traditions, and stories that enrich Davis County through music, dance, theater, visual arts, food, and community engagement.

The day-long event will feature live performances by local artists on the Kenley Amphitheater stage, interactive workshops led by performers and local teaching artists, cultural and visual art demonstrations, artisan and food vendors, family-friendly activities, and more.

Designed for all ages, the festival invites residents and visitors alike to experience the arts as a bridge between cultures, generations, and communities. Through music, dance, theater, visual art, and food, attendees are encouraged to experience new traditions, share their own stories, build lasting connections with neighbors, and discover the common values that unite the community.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The festival was inspired by a simple truth: the diversity that enriches the community is not something found somewhere else – it is found within Davis County.

In recognition of the America250 commemoration, the festival’s name, We the People, reflects the promise of an ever-expanding American story. Over time, the meaning of that “We” has grown to include more voices, experiences, and perspectives, making these words a fitting symbol for a celebration of community and culture.

For many years, Davis Arts Council has envisioned creating a multicultural arts festival that celebrates the people and traditions of Davis County. With support from Layton City’s R.A.M.P. (Recreation, Arts, Museums, and Parks) program, that vision is becoming a reality.
