Celebrate the 60th Arts Festival at a fabulous cocktail reception on Friday, July 10, 2026 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on the plaza at The Towers, 403 South Allen Street.
Join us as we raise a glass to six decades of bringing art, music, and community together. Festive Spirits is the perfect way to kick off Arts Festival weekend—an evening of festive drinks, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and lively conversation in our beautiful outdoor setting just steps away from the Festival’s artists.
The event’s founding sponsor, Big Spring Spirits, will return to provide a selection of their distinctive locally-sourced craft cocktails and the team from Catering with Style will once again serve their signature butlered hors d’oeuvres.
Honey Pie will provide the music. Dress is casual, colorful, and fun. Bonus points if you dress like it’s 1967 at the dawn of the Arts Festival!
Tickets are $150 per person.
Watch for tickets to go on sale here mid-May! Sponsorship opportunities are available.
Your support truly makes the Festival possible. Last year’s Festive Spirits raised more than $37,000—helping to sustain five full days of art and cultural experiences for our entire community. We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone year with you.
