Theme 2025
For 2025, we’re stepping into a year of collaboration, participation, and boundless imagination.
Our theme celebrates the vibrant, ever-changing spectrum of human expression. Like the shifting patterns of a kaleidoscope, KOTA 2025 is about dreaming big, embracing change, and finding beauty in connection—through art, music, flow, and your participation.
This year, we invite you not just to attend but to be part of the magic. Whether it’s joining a workshop, contributing to a collaborative art piece, or dancing under the stars, every moment at KOTA 2025 is an opportunity to express yourself and celebrate the kaleidoscope of our collective dreams.
Karnival of the Arts is a pioneering four-day festival that celebrates creativity and community, held in Southern California in May and Pennsylvania in August. This arts-first festival uniquely blends a triple stage shared by musical talent, visual artists, and mesmerizing flow artists, ensuring that there’s something to ignite the spark of inspiration in everyone!
Our mission is to create a vibrant, inclusive platform for artists, musicians, and creators to showcase their talents, while fostering a deep sense of community and connection among attendees.
Art. Music. Flow
Karnival of the Arts hosts artists, musicians and flow performers together on triple stages highlighting the best of local and national talent. We create an environment for inspiration, expression, and creation for all to enjoy.
