Feeling welcome and having a mechanism to share strengthens individuals, families and builds a confident, strong and inclusive community.

The World Village will be a host to several multi-national performance groups representing Boise’s variety of cultures. This three day event will showcase our international communities’ cultural arts and will invite the indigent community to connect with their new neighbors in an enjoyable and enriching setting.

While we need sponsors who can make a monetary investment in our festival, we are also willing to partner with businesses through in-kind sponsorships. These in-kind sponsorships save us money that we would otherwise be required to spend. Lodging, food, advertising, rental equipment or other services are ideal for in-kind contributions. “Attractions” for our festivals also make excellent in-kind sponsorships.

We are very excited to announce that we will host a pre-festival VIP event on Thursday, June 4, 2015, where we will be screening an international movie, “Finding Fela” to kick-off the First Annual World Village Festival.

Finding Fela tells the story of Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s life, his music, his social and political importance. He created a new musical movement, Afrobeat, using that forum to express his revolutionary political opinions against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 1980s. His influence helped bring a change towards democracy in Nigeria and promoted Pan Africanist politics to the world. The power and potency of Fela’s message is completely current today and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, embracing Fela’s music and message in their struggle for freedom. Finding Fela was directed by the Academy Award winning director, Alex Gibney.

Join us at The Flicks to watch this inspirational story of Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
