Kumu Courtyard Festival: Latin America
Kumu Courtyard Festival, taking place on Saturday, 31 August, is the highlight of Kumu’s summer season. The theme of this year’s festival is Latin America, inspired by the Latin American art exhibition on display in our Great Hall.
The festival brings together local Estonian and Latin American creatives to discover Latin American culture. The programme includes dance, music and traditional Latin American foods, as well workshops, games and discussions.
Come and let Latin American rhythms and colours carry you away!
