Cultural Workshops
Beyond the festival itself, Summerfest extends its reach through a series of cultural workshops held throughout the summer. These workshops provide residents with opportunities to engage directly with master artists and cultural practitioners, learning traditional techniques and exploring the stories behind various art forms.
