The 24th Annual

Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival

Sunday, April 21, 2024 from 11:00am - 5:00pm

Kaneland High School

47W326 Keslinger Road, Maple Park, IL 60151


THE KANELAND COMMUNITY FINE ARTS FESTIVAL CELEBRATES THE STUDENT AND THE PROFESSIONAL.

In this all ages, FREE, showcase, the Kaneland Community Fine Arts Festival has been so much more than a school district’s typical fine arts festival. The Festival combines the fantastic Kaneland School District Arts Education program with the world of the Professional Artist. Enjoy student artwork and experience professional art - all in one day! This year, our festival will be lacking a majority of student performers and all of the professional Performing Arts in the auditorium due to the construction to enhance the Kaneland Auditorium. Live music will be provided in the Arts Pavilion.

 

We Need YOU!
