Arts Fest ‘26
Celebrating Community Through Performing Arts
Join New Tampa Performing Arts Center (NTPAC) for our annual celebration of music, art, dance and culture.
Join us Friday, Sept. 11, through Sunday, Sept. 13, as we celebrate the upcoming 2026-27 season with a weekend full of free activities and performances by Tampa Bay area artists across music, theatre, dance, comedy, and more.
On Saturday, Sept. 12, bring the whole family for a day packed with kid-friendly activities, including a free screening of Disney’s Zootopia 2, arts and crafts, Hillsborough County Library’s Mobile Literacy Unit, food trucks, and The Florida Orchestra’s instrument petting zoo, where kids can explore and play musical instruments.
