One of my favorite free events in Wichita every year is back for Fall 2022. Bring blankets and lawn chairs and enjoy the FREE Wichita Ballet in the Park again this year!
The Wichita Ballet will perform a Tom Sawyer at various parks in and around Wichita.
Ballet in the Park has been delighting audiences for almost 30 years. The event is FREE, open to the public, and is a 45-minute performance. Ballet in the Park is held in parks in Wichita and surrounding areas, including Augusta and Mulvane, featuring a different production every year. Our Ballet in the Park series has delighted thousands of attendees during the summer and fall over the years.
Past productions of Ballet in the Park include Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White, Peter and the Wolf and Prairie Tales. It’s a relaxed and casual atmosphere where those in attendance can meet and mingle with the dancers after the show!
This is a wonderful experience and very family-friendly! The performances only last about 45 minutes and are usually followed by a meet and greet with company dancers.
You have several FREE Ballet in the Park performances from which to choose:

Thanks for visiting our free website for the Wichita Community. We do it because we Love ICT!
It would be great of there was more than one performance for each town
It would be great for us to be there for more than just one performance if attendance and sponsorships could justify it. Please talk to your local organizers, we are very interested in expanding our Ballet in the Park series.
There is a map of Mulvane shown, will it be there also? Thank you.
Also there are two times listed for Maize, 2 and 3 pm
The Mulvane performance was earlier this summer, and the map seems to just be hanging on even though that event is over. (I’ll see if we can get that to go away somehow. Sorry!)
The Maize performance is from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. Just one performance, beginning at 2 p.m.!
