Welcome to the Harvard Arts Festival!Our four-day annual celebration — produced by the Office for the Arts — shines a spotlight on the vibrant, year-round creativity that fills Harvard’s stages, studios, galleries, classrooms and public spaces.
It’s a festival of artmaking and the story of our community: who we are, where we live and how we come together with joy through the arts.
Open to community members of all ages, the festival features more than 150 arts events of every kind, most of them free.
Select festival events, including the Performance Fair, will be livestreamed at HarvardArts on YouTube so families, friends, alums and fans around the world can be a part of the experience.
This year, in addition to festival favorites, you’re invited to two special programming tracks: Science and Arts and Religion, Spirituality and Ethics.
With performances, exhibitions, hands-on artmaking and more, Arts Fest is a beautiful invitation for arts lovers and curious explorers to connect with Harvard.
Join the joy!
