Spirit of the Season FREE Family Concert from Wichita Symphony

The annual Spirit of the Season concert is a gift from the Wichita Symphony Orchestra to the community.

Each year, the Symphony invites the community to attend a free concert and enjoy the sounds of the season, featuring Christmas carols and holiday hits. It’s a super-popular annual Christmas event in Wichita! This is one of the many great Holiday Concerts & Holiday Shows.

Tickets are available now, but they go fast. Check here to see if they are available to reserve.

Spirit of the Season tickets go quickly, so reserve your spot early.

Although the concert is free, a ticket is required to attend. If you don’t get a ticket, you might want to show up on the night of the performance to see if any seats are available. (It will be a bit of a wait.)

The concert this year will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in the Century II Convention Hall.

The Spirit of the Season is a family concert, recommended for everyone ages 3 and up.

Doors to the symphony concert usually open an hour before for ticket-holders, and it’s a good idea to get there early. Ticket holders who bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Kansas Food Bank will be seated first!

People without tickets will be admitted later to fill any unclaimed seats.

Although concert tickets are free, donations are encouraged. Kansas Food Bank collection bins will be onsite the night of the concert for donations of non-perishable food items – i.e. cans or packages of food. Monetary donations to support the Wichita Symphony’s family and education programs will also be accepted.

If the Tickets Sell Out 

The Convention Hall seats more people than the Concert Hall, which is where the Wichita Symphony usually performs. But the free Christmas concert is so popular that it still sells out, even in the larger venue.

You might still want to check the ticket website from time to time for tickets in case more seats become available.
