Festival of the Arts

Parkland Festival of the arts with pinwheel


The Parkland Festival of the Arts is dedicated to providing an annual venue for the various forms of visual and performing arts found within the school district’s population and the adult community it serves.

By incorporating a hands-on experience, the opportunity to view existing works and a chance to see artists in action, the festival will entertain, educate and excite all those who participate.

A program of music, art, theater and dance will ensure that all involved are able to experience the full gamut of artistic exploration.
