YBG ChoreoFest at YBG Festival

Yerba Buena Gardens ChoreoFest 2026 occurs on two days:
Saturday, July 25 and Saturday, August 1.
These programs move through different sites within Yerba Buena Gardens.

Like a wall waiting for a mural or a stage ready for a play, the Gardens call for human bodies in motion. Yerba Buena Gardens ChoreoFest, a mini-festival of site-specific work, turns the Gardens’ various open spaces into a showcase for the extravagant creativity, diversity and vibrancy of the Bay Area dance scene. Co-curated by David Herrera, Artistic Director of David Herrera Performance Company, and PUSH Dance Company Artistic Director Raissa Simpson and Associate Artistic Director Ashley Gayle, YBG ChoreoFest includes new work by a bevy of brilliant choreographers and dance companies. This year, all the action occurs on two dance-filled days.

Participating companies include La Mezcla, Ishami Dance Company, BrasArte, Yeni Lucero, Spearman & Co., Sharp & Fine, PUSH Dance Company and David Herrera Performance Company.

This program is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
