This year’s event includes a College Fair of institutions offering arts-related degrees and programs. At least two food trucks will provide dinner options on site. A portion of all proceeds from this event go back to support ORHS arts programs.

The free 7 p.m. performances include multiple award-winning groups under the direction of ORHS directors. ORHS Orchestra has brought home the Heritage Gold with ORHS WildBand members.
