Host Families Are Needed
The heartwarming generosity of local Utah volunteers who host international dancers during our festival is genuinely inspiring. This selfless act of Utah hospitality has been an essential part of the festival since its inception in 1986, and it continues to bring people from all over the world together to celebrate our shared love of folk dance.
Hosting provides families with a unique cultural opportunity to immerse themselves in global cultures, form lifelong friendships, and support a nonprofit community event that celebrates diversity, tolerance, and unity.
