Festival of the Arts

An Annual K-12 Parkland Arts Festival occurs each May at the beautiful Parkland High School campus. At our three-day event, a myriad of sponsorship levels are available. Parents from every school building attend to view their child’s artwork on display as the high school is transformed into a huge art gallery for a day. Local artists sell crafts and school clubs sell festival food. Various music and dance performances occur under the main stage festival tent, the rotunda and the auditorium throughout the day. Patrons also get to step inside the school for a huge K-12 art show, dance recitals, character parade, instrument exploration area, basket auction, bake sale, and live entertainment.
