From: Ella Eggold, Executive Director;
“We are thrilled to be hosting an In Person FAME Festival this year! After two years of virtual celebrations due to COVID-19, this is sure to be a joyous event. As we continue to rebuild from COVID and navigate through the evolving situation, FAME has decided to host an one day festival instead of a two-day festival. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to celebrating the artist within on March 19.”
Student performances (piano, vocal, dance, and drama) and student art displays, along with workshops featuring guest musicians, dancers, and visual artists, will all be a part of the Fort Wayne FAME Festival on Saturday, March 19, at the Grand Wayne Center. This year’s festival will spotlight Jazz Age in North America.
The first FAME Festival was in 1987. This is the thirty-fifth anniversary of the FAME festival. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults and free for children 18 and under and participation in most of the activities is free of charge.
The performance schedule will be posted on this page the last week in February.
