This momentous event, aligned with the International Day of Peace, will be held simultaneously in many countries. In Manila, it will be held at the Bantayog ng Mga Bayani Memorial Center.

Conceived in 1996 with a vision to unite the whole world in peace through the universal platform of culture, art, dance and music, EarthDance is now the largest global synchronized music and peace event in the world.
