Opening Night at the Bankhead debuts on Saturday, August 29, 2026, as an unforgettable evening celebrating the Arts and our community. As our largest fundraiser of the year, this special event will feature an intimate performance by four time Grammy Award winning artist Lyle Lovett, along with a live auction, raffle, and Fund-a-Need initiative supporting our Arts education outreach programs. Each ticket includes a welcome bubbly and hors d’oeuvres to kick off the evening, with both VIP and general admission experiences available. We are also currently welcoming event sponsors to join us in making an even greater impact.
Following the performance, the celebration continues with a lively after-party on the Bankhead plaza. Guests are invited to dance the night away to a live band, enjoy a selection of tapas-style bites, desserts, and sip from our no-host bar offering a variety of beverages. Opening Night at the Bankhead is more than an event, it’s a vibrant evening of music, community, and giving back.
