#BOCADEORO 2021 was our first virtual online festival, …

Our team and all the organizers, curators and visual and performing art performers did an amazing job of pivoting in a two month time frame to a digital event and by all accounts, it was another successful presentation of the resilience of our vibrant literature & arts in Orange County. It also further solidified Boca de Oro as one of Southern California’s most unique and imaginative showcases of Artistic excellence from all backgrounds. We hope you will consider and ultimately make the joyous decision of joining us again as we go back to our LIVE FORMAT on March 4th, 5th, 6th 2022 for the Boca De Oro Festival of Literary Arts & Culture!!!
