ITS SIGNATURE GLOBAL ROOTS FESTIVAL IS AN ANNUAL, FREE, MULTI-DAY FESTIVAL FEATURING ACCOMPLISHED INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS WHOSE MUSIC IS ROOTED IN VARIOUS CULTURAL TRADITIONS. SERVING EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITIES HAS EMERGED AS AN ORGANIZATIONAL PRIORITY BECAUSE THE CEDAR'S NEIGHBORHOOD IS HOME TO THE LARGEST SOMALI DIASPORA OUTSIDE OF AFRICA AND ITS MISSION CENTERS ON INTERCULTURAL APPRECIATION. THE CEDAR REGULARLY CO-CURATES AND PRESENTS SPECIAL PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SOMALI-RUN ORGANIZATIONS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE 416 CLUB PROGRAM ANNUALLY COMMISSIONS SIX LOCAL ARTISTS TO COMPOSE NEW PIECES AND DEBUT THEM IN A SERIES OF PERFORMANCES.
