SPAF 2023

Because we believe in the transformational power of art, we make joyful experiences of street performance accesible to everyone, working with meaningful topics to water the seeds of change, for a sustainable future in coexistence.
On August 19th of 2023, we filled Vestergade - Aarhus C with performances, workshops, stages, music and of coouuuurse street performance. The topic for our first edition was ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY.
As such a big project is not possible without the collaboration and collective work of a lot of people, we would like to thank the amazing team we had, with more than 50 people including artists, facilitators, technicians, staff and volunteers. Also a very big thank you for ‪@vestergadeforeningenaarhus4261‬ ‪@casav5878‬ and ‪@smukfestDK‬ , for trusting our dream & vision and collaborating with us. Thanks ‪@junglelyd8292‬ for letting us have your music in our video! And last but not least thank you Aarhus Kommune and CAC FONDEN for supporting our project, making this festival possible!!

We are extremely happy of the magical day we have co-created and we are looking forward to share the next edition with all of you!
