Wichita Forever Fest presents Wichita Forever Fundraiser, a night of genre-bending performances and creative collaboration featuring an eclectic mix of local talent leading up to the festival. Join us Saturday, August 8 at Harvester Arts for an evening packed with music, performance, and unexpected mashups from artists across the Wichita scene.

Wichita Forever Festival is a free, citywide music festival celebrating the artists, venues, and communities that make Wichita’s music scene special. On Saturday, August 22, nearly 100 bands and artists will take over 10 venues across the city for a weekend of live music, art, connection, and discovery.

From indie rock and hip-hop to jazz, punk, EDM, folk, and everything in between, Wichita Forever is built around one idea: local music deserves to be heard, supported, and celebrated year-round.

This is not a single-site festival. It’s a decentralized network of venues, DIY spaces, artists, and local businesses working together to turn Wichita into a living, breathing music festival for one weekend.

All shows are free and open to the public, and every artist is guaranteed payment.

Following the first day of Wichita Forever Fest, select donors may join us at Odd Fellow Hall for an exclusive VIP After Party fundraiser on Sunday, August 23 from 4 p.m. to midnight.

Featuring artists from across the region, the gathering brings together touring musicians, supporters, and community members for a one-of-a-kind night celebrating independent music and the future of the fest. All members of performing bands from day one will receive access, while a very limited number of public tickets will be available through mid-level festival donor packages. More details coming soon.
