community circle

The Community Circle Stage (formerly known as Congo Square Market Stage) at the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance is a platform dedicated to showcasing the many talents of the urban music community, giving special recognition to youth voices and other local talents. The community circle is a place where all can come together in celebration of music and diversity. In addition to the many talents that will grace the stage, the community circle will be offering workshops as well as a lounge space, brought to you as the GrassRoots living room. Visitors can shop from local vendors at the Unity Market, which will provide an assorted array of food and merchandise.
