About the Festival
The Arizona Children's Festival is organized by the Foundation for Inter-Cultural Dialogue (FID), a non-profit organization dedicated to promote mutual respect, collaboration, and community service through inter-cultural dialogue.In 2008, the FID board decided to launch a series of events and activities for children to make them aware of the cultural richness and diversity within our society. The first Arizona Children's festival was celebrated in Spring 2008 with the theme of 'peace'.
Continuing on with the effort, FID presents the second Arizona Children's Festival on April 25, 2009. The festival includes:

We believe that through the performances and the contests, the Arizona Children's Festival will serve to increase children's awareness diversity, enrich their education, and encourage their creativity.
