Community Partnerships & Outreach

Outreach Concerts

The Festival at Sandpoint hosts concerts that are inexpensive and offer world-class musical experiences - ranging from Broadway and Disney to Mozart and Beethoven.

As a nonprofit, part of our mission is to make music accessible to local and regional audiences, and The Family Concert and Grand Finale provide affordable opportunities to experience music for the members of the community.

  • The Family Concert is a low-cost musical experience for children to attend, listen to, and enjoy.

    The Festival at Sandpoint has provided experiences including performances from Broadway performers, Disney singers, and positivity powerhouse Michael Franti.

  • The Festival at Sandpoint brings a classical music experience to the stage annually for the final performance of the Summer Series.

    In accordance with the Festival's mission to make music accessible, the Grand Finale performance offers affordable tickets as well as a youth option for individuals 12 and under.

    Additionally, the Festival will alternate between traditional symphonic and movie in concert programming. The family-friendly film and orchestra experience is an approachable opportunity for younger audiences to engage with classical music.

  • The Festival at Sandpoint's annual Ticket Outreach program works in close partnership with local schools and organizations to ensure free tickets to the Grand Finale / Family Concert reach those who need them most, including underserved community members, those with special needs, seniors, and veterans.

    Through community partnerships, we are able to ensure even more low-income and underserved families can access this unique musical experience and cherished community tradition.

    In 2024, with support from Innovia Foundation's 50th Anniversary Grant and Community Grant, the Festival at Sandpoint was able to distribute 200 tickets to underprivileged individuals for the Grand Finale: How to Train Your Dragon - In Concert.
