Flint Hills Family Festival
Ordway's annual Festival celebrating the artist in every child
Thank you
Thanks to all students, educators, and families who joined us for the 2021 Flint Hills Family Festival! And, thanks to the Festival artists and partners who helped us to celebrate the artist in all of us. A big thank you, too, to our Festival and Education sponsors, without whom the Festival would not be possible.
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. Join us in 2022 for more thrilling performances, student matinees, art-making activities, and workshops.
We can’t wait to see you back where you belong—at the Ordway!
