Celebrating 20 years

June 1–12, 2021

For the past 20 years, the Flint Hills Family Festival has brought communities together through the power of the arts, welcoming over a million students, teachers, and families since its conception in 2001. This year, in celebration of this remarkable partnership between the Ordway and Flint Hills Resources, we are excited to present twelve days of student matinees, art-making activities, and workshops lead by Festival partners—all accessible from the comfort of your own home.
