2025 marks 40 years of artistic excellence at the Ordway—plus even more milestones! And we’re proud to share these anniversaries with the community that made them possible. Join us for our Open House on Sunday, September 21 as we celebrate the opening of our doors in 1985, as well as 25 years of the Flint Hills Family Festival, and the 10th anniversary of the Concert Hall. It’s a monumental year, and we want to share it with you from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM!

Enjoy self-guided backstage tours, activities for all ages, and performances throughout the day presented by the Schubert Club, Minnesota Opera, and the Ordway.

Special appearances by Sounds of Blackness Ensemble, Ballet Co. Laboratory, One Voice Mixed Chorus, Native Arts Collaborative, and more!
