globalFEST believes in THE POWER OF MUSIC to bring people together during times of war and conflict. We founded gF following the dark days between 9/11 and the start of the Iraq war and, as the horrors of war are again all around us, we remain devoted to building bridges through music and culture, promoting dialogue and resilience.

globalFEST breaks down cultural and social boundaries by moving international music and American regional music to the center of the performing arts field. For over two decades, globalFEST‘s programs have catalyzed creative and artistic networks to foster a robust and sustainable ecosystem for global and American regional music.

Who We Are

Founded in 2003, globalFEST has grown into a vital and beloved service organization at the intersection of culture, global music, and the live music industry. In partnership with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, we co-produce our flagship January event, which transforms Geffen Hall into a vibrant, multi-stage experience, featuring 10 extraordinary artists from around the world. We also present a summer festival at the iconic Lincoln Center campus.

Our mission centers on three strategic pillars: Celebrating, Growing, and Amplifying global and American regional music. Through events like our flagship festivals and collaborations such as NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concerts, we reach over 10,000 in-person and 1 million virtual audience members annually. With our commitment to accessibility, most of our programming is free or available at an intentionally affordable price, ensuring we connect with a diverse and engaged audience.

At globalFEST, we believe in the power of music to inspire empathy and open hearts by exposing people to cultures beyond their own. By supporting global music and American regional music traditions, we promote inclusivity and unity.

globalFEST 2025 – A Festival Like No Other

globalFEST's 22nd Festival returns to Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall on January 12, 2025 for a full building takeover with three stages showcasing artists from around the world. This highly anticipated event sells out in advance every year – so don’t miss your chance to experience this unforgettable day of music and culture!

By donating to our Indiegogo campaign, you not only guarantee your spot at the festival but also help us continue bringing these incredible musical experiences to life. Your support ensures we maintain the high standards of excellence and innovation that globalFEST has been known for over the last two decades.

Why Your Support Matters

Although we partner with Lincoln Center, many of the costs of producing the festival still fall on globalFEST. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we’ve been able to grow and thrive, making a lasting impact on the careers of over 1,000 musicians and hundreds of bands from around the world.

This is our only annual fundraising campaign, and it’s essential for us to keep bringing world-class, culturally rich performances to the stage. Your donation helps fund the artists, production, and outreach efforts that make the festival a reality. Every contribution, no matter the size, ensures that globalFEST can continue to thrive and share the power of music with audiences across the globe.

How You Can Help

  • Donate Now: Your gift directly supports the festival and ensures it remains accessible and impactful for audiences of all backgrounds.
  • Secure Your Tickets Early: Donating is the best way to ensure you don’t miss out on this year’s sold-out event. Plus, it’s an excellent opportunity to give back to a community that’s brought you so much joy and inspiration.
  • Share the Love: Spread the word about globalFEST to your friends, family, and networks. The more people we reach, the greater the impact we can have!

A Gift from One Friend to Another

We want to thank you for your past generosity and continued support. For many of you, your donation to globalFEST is more than a financial contribution – it’s a gift from one friend to another, helping us continue to celebrate global music and culture. We’re deeply grateful for your involvement in this community, and we look forward to welcoming you to globalFEST 2025!
