The Flow Arts Institute hosts seven annual festivals around the United States.
What makes our festivals different from the others? As the largest network of connected flow festivals in the country, we compound the innovations and excellence of each event by sharing between them. Having put on over 50 festivals, we have plenty of experience in getting it right. From a diversity of high-level teachers and workshop content down to the details of an industry-leading Fire Safety Protocol, art grants, and top-quality performance ‘Flowcases,’ we go the extra distance to make your festival experience awesome. We regularly offer the one-of-a-kind opportunity to Firewalk at our festivals for no extra cost. Come to any of our events and experience it for yourself: we are passionate about making the best possible flow festival!
