The Festival Returns May 29-31
Connect Beyond Festival returns to The Orange Peel May 29-31, 2026! Join us for a weekend of music, film, art and conversation. Initial lineup will be announced soon and tickets will go on sale in early April.
This year's festival has two more exciting elements:
attendees will experience the premiere of The Community Garden — a collaborative, immersive installation that audiences can step inside. A living, breathing space shaped by artists, youth, and community voices. A place for connection, reflection, creation, and conversation.
Connect Beyond will be a platform for youth empowerment. Through our partnership with local organizations, students are learning real-world skills — from coding and digital storytelling to budgeting, event production, communication, and time management.
