Cama-i Dance Festival

In the spring, the Bethel Council on the Arts hosts a regional celebration called the Cama-i Dance Festival (in Yup'ik, cama-i means "hello"). This three-day festival takes place in the local high school's gym in late March or the first half of April. Expect dancing, singing, art and crafts, and a community potluck for sharing food and stories. Cama-i brings people together from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, along with dance groups and visitors from across Alaska and the world.
