Search for your greatest fortune and test your fates at Kindling Arts Festival 2025, featuring a spellbinding array of 19 original performance projects created by Nashville’s most daring artists. From the dark and mysterious to the buoyant and sexy, our Fortunes & Fates festival line-up offers something for every adventurous art-lover: a feminist, electro-pop reimagining of the Salem witch trials,  timely theatrical works wrestling with our present times, a fantastical drug-induced queer journey into a fictional land, interactive events exploring communal power and alternative economies, and so much more. 

Gravity defying-aerial feats, hilarious new plays, high-voltage performance art, and bad stripping — it’s all on the table at Kindling Arts Festival 2025. 

Explore the Kindling Arts Festival, and check out the festival passes. Shows will be held at venues all over Nashville this weekend, July 24-27.
