Due to the health concerns about the COVID-19 virus, FAME is cancelling the FAME Festival which was to be held
On March 14-15, 2020 at the grand Wayne Center. No alternate date is available to reschedule this spring.
The FAME Festival draws over 10,000 visitors and performers over the two day event and to put that many persons at risk is too great. We thank you for understanding the situation.
You can support FAME’s future programs by making a donation on our website at www.famearts.org/donate
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 14, and Sunday, March 15, 2020, at the Grand Wayne Center. This year’s festival will spotlight Latin America, culminating with the Celebration of Youth Concert on Sunday.
This is the thirty-second year for a festival of this kind in Fort Wayne. 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.
