Orbit Arts Festival
Arts for All!
The Tulsa area is absolutely overflowing with incredible talent! From acting to dancing, singing, instrumentalists and more, our community has so much to offer. To celebrate that fact, and to make sure as many local artists get to share their art as possible, we’re hosting the Orbit Arts Festival on April 18, 2026 AGAIN this year!
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. that Saturday, the doors to our 2nd Street lobbies and theatres will be open wide to admit the public to this FREE event. Every space in that half of our theatre, and even the sidewalks outside, will be brimming with activities, workshops, entertainers and more.
Our 2026 Festival takes place April 18, from 10 am to 5 pm!
Want to help celebrate local art? Donate today!
