Dick Copeland Town Square serves as the outdoor heart of the festival, featuring the main stage, artisan and food vendors, community gathering spaces, and more.

🌦️ Weather

Culturefest happens rain or shine! And while Town Square is at the heart of the festival, much of the Culturefest experience actually takes place indoors.

Three of our four music stages are indoor venues — The Dream Bean Coffeehouse, Stages Music School and The Room Upstairs at RiffRaff.

At Dick Copeland Town Square, the stage is covered, and the audience and main festival gathering area are sheltered beneath a large professional event tent, providing plenty of cover for enjoying the music, dancing and gathering.

And because Culturefest flows throughout the Mercer Street Grassroots District, there are plenty of locally owned shops, galleries, restaurants and other indoor spaces to explore between performances.

Whatever the weather brings, Culturefest is ready to roll! 🌎🎶
