2026 Putnam City Arts Festival

The Arts Come to the New Centennial Center

Saturday has a good reason to get out of the house.

The Putnam City Arts Festival returns May 2nd, and this year it lands at a new address. The Putnam City Centennial Center, including its outdoor amphitheater and park, opens its doors to one of the district’s biggest annual traditions. It’s a fitting first act for a space built for exactly this kind of community moment.

The event runs from 9am to 2pm and it’s free. Every school in the district brings something, art displays, performances, crafts, vendor booths. The breadth is the point. This isn’t a showcase for one program or one school. It’s a full picture of what creative education looks like across Putnam City, and for the families in Bethany and the surrounding area, it’s worth the trip.

Performing arts groups will take the stage throughout the morning. The outdoor amphitheater gives those performances a venue they deserve.

If you haven’t seen the new Centennial Center yet, Saturday is a good first reason to go.
