A performance at the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts.

Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, or PIFA, is a citywide celebration of international arts in Philadelphia curated by the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.

The festival, first launched in 2011, occurs every two years to tout Philadelphia as a premier destination for highly compelling performing arts experiences. The festival features a spectacular line-up of collaborative and innovative artistic acts.

For more than a week, Philadelphia stages and places will host dozens of dance, theater and visual arts performances, amounting to one huge international celebration of the phenomenal arts and arts community in Philly.
