The Cedar’s Global Roots Festival
Free. Family Friendly. Featuring Fresh New Global Voices.
Mark your calendars now for our 11th Annual Global Roots Festival scheduled for September 23-25, 2019! The Global Roots Festival offers Minnesotans three nights of FREE music, featuring local bands on our community plaza, mainstage performances with two international bands per night, and “extra-curricular" events like artist lunches, Q & A's, educational programs, and more.
We’ll be announcing our 2019 artists soon, but for now, get a taste for The Global Roots Festival in our 2018 recap video below:
