LEVITATE: Holland Arts Festival

LEVITATE, held February 21, 2026, was a celebration of creative expression and local talent presented at Holland Museum, Herrick District Library, and Park Theatre. The festival program brought community voices together through music, storytelling, poetry, dance, and art.

This event is part of Herrick District Library’s Lift Every Voice (LEV) initiative, a season set aside to celebrate the power of voice—in song, in story, and in community.

2026 Performer Applications: The original festival accepted submissions from musicians, dancers, poets, storytellers, spoken-word performers, and visual artists through February 4, 2026. Applications for that event have closed.
