About this Event

Olney Culture Lab of CultureTrust Greater Philadelphia is proud to announce the 2026 edition of Olney Youth Arts Festival! This multicultural celebration of youth creativity continues to focus on dance and movement by our young people. The event is designed to highlight different ethnic expressions towards cross-cultural awareness and to showcase the strength of various arts programs serving the children and youth in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods.

The vast array of dance featured will include: breaking, hip hop, salsa, tap, ballet, modern, ethnic folk dances, among others.

And who can forget the feast the follows! A Taste of Olney is a free community dinner where the neighborhood is celebrated through its equally vibrant cuisines by some of its restaurants and caterers. Dinner starts around 4 PM.

Lastly, there will also be a resource fair at the event sharing valuable information for the community.

Main support for this event is made possible through a generosity of the William Penn Foundation. Additional support includes Collins Shop Rite, Philadelphia 250, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, and Olney Community Collaborative, with more forthcoming.
