Meet up with fellow trainers at the 2026 Ridgefield Multicultural Festival for the Go Fest Mega Finale. This event will give you a chance to explore downtown Ridgefield, work together in Pokémon Go raids, and catch Pokémon along the way! We will meet at Overlook Park in front of the public restrooms at 10:00am. The group will walk to various points around downtown and the waterfront ending at 12 noon. We hope to see you there!

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and the 10th anniversary of Pokémon Go. With the Festival’s theme of history, it’s the perfect time to celebrate these milestones of this global phenomenon.

Shiny boosts for wild spawns, Mega Raids, Chespin, Fennekin & Froakie in the wild giving Mega Energy for their brand-new Mega Evolution, and hanging out with fellow Pokémon people, what more could you want? 😍

Reúnete con otros Entrenadores en el Festival Multicultural de Ridgefield 2026 para la Mega Final del Pokémon GO Fest. Este evento te dará la oportunidad de explorar el centro de Ridgefield, colaborar en incursiones de Pokémon GO y capturar Pokémon por el camino. Nos reuniremos en Overlook Park, frente a los baños públicos, a las 10:00 a. m. El grupo recorrerá varios puntos del centro y de la zona costera, finalizando la actividad a las 12:00 del mediodía. ¡Esperamos veros allí!

Este año se celebra el 30.º aniversario de Pokémon y el 10.º aniversario de Pokémon GO. Dado que la temática del festival es la historia, es el momento perfecto para celebrar estos hitos de un fenómeno mundial.

Mayores probabilidades de encontrar Pokémon variocolor (shiny) en estado salvaje, Mega Incursiones, la aparición de Chespin, Fennekin y Froakie en estado salvaje —que otorgan Megaenergía para sus nuevas Megaevoluciones— y la oportunidad de compartir tiempo con otros fans de Pokémon: ¿qué más se puede pedir? 😍

Our talent team has been busy this week with an 11th hour addition to the lineup! We are excited to welcome the Lone Fir Hot Club to the stage at 10:30 am on Sept 5!

The Lone Fir Hot Club’s sound and instrumentation lean heavily on the Jazz Manouche or “Gypsy Swing” songbook offered by the original Hot Club ensemble featuring Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. They take inspiration from the current Jazz Manouche scenes on both sides of the Atlantic and dabble in the music of 1940’s American swing to bop transitional era.

🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻🎶🎻🎶

¡Nuestro equipo de programación ha estado muy activo esta semana con una incorporación de última hora al cartel! ¡Nos complace dar la bienvenida al escenario a Lone Fir Hot Club el 5 de septiembre a las 10:30 a. m.!

El sonido y la instrumentación de Lone Fir Hot Club se basan fundamentalmente en el repertorio de *jazz manouche* (o *gypsy swing*) popularizado por el grupo original Hot Club, liderado por Django Reinhardt y Stéphane Grappelli. La banda se inspira en la escena actual del *jazz manouche* a ambos lados del Atlántico y explora también la música del periodo de transición entre el *swing* estadounidense y el *bebop* de la década de 1940.

RMI is excited to welcome Sharp Skills (Philip Jacobs) to this year's Ridgefield Multicultural Festival. His performance is a meaningful connection to our "History" theme by highlighting the history and cultural impact of hip-hop and rap music. Emerging in the Bronx in the 1970s, hip-hop became a powerful form of expression for communities to share their stories, experiences, struggles, creativity, and hopes for the future. Through rhythm, poetry, and storytelling, rap has given generations of artists a platform to preserve personal and community histories while bringing attention to important social issues. Sharp Skills continues this tradition by using music to connect people, celebrate diverse voices, and share stories that reflect the experiences of today. His performance reminds us that history is not only found in the past, it is also being created through the voices, art, and experiences of our communities.

RMI se complace en dar la bienvenida a Sharp Skills (Philip Jacobs) al Festival Multicultural de Ridgefield de este año. Su actuación establece un vínculo significativo con nuestra temática de "Historia", al destacar la trayectoria y el impacto cultural de la música hip-hop y el rap. Surgido en el Bronx durante la década de 1970, el hip-hop se convirtió en una poderosa forma de expresión que permitió a las comunidades compartir sus historias, vivencias, luchas, creatividad y esperanzas para el futuro. A través del ritmo, la poesía y la narración, el rap ha brindado a generaciones de artistas una plataforma para preservar historias personales y comunitarias, al tiempo que visibiliza importantes cuestiones sociales. Sharp Skills continúa esta tradición utilizando la música para conectar a las personas, celebrar la diversidad de voces y compartir relatos que reflejan las experiencias actuales. Su actuación nos recuerda que la historia no reside únicamente en el pasado, sino que también se construye a través de las voces, el arte y las vivencias de nuestras comunidades.

RMI is thrilled to welcome Vancouver Ballet Folklórico to this year's Ridgefield Multicultural Festival. Their performance beautifully reflects our "History" theme by bringing Mexico's rich cultural traditions to life through dance. Every performance features vibrant costumes, lively music, and choreography that tell the stories of different regions of Mexico, celebrating traditions that have been passed down for generations. It's a chance for audiences to experience history in a way that's engaging, colorful, and inspiring while honoring the heritage and cultural pride that continue to shape communities today.
