Festival Napa Valley believes the arts are essential to a healthy, engaged community. Through year-round Arts for All initiatives, we make music and the arts accessible at every stage of life, from a child’s first live performance to advanced training for the next generation of artists to programs that support connection and well-being.
Our Education & Community programs meet young people and families in classrooms, libraries, workshops, and admission-free concerts. How I See Music pairs symphonic music with visual art for every non-charter third-grade student in Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD), and Novack Concerts for Kids introduces 3,600 students to live performance, including every fourth-grade student in NVUSD.
In 2026, more than 150 programs and events reached communities across Napa County. This work is made possible by donors, sponsors, and institutional partners who believe in the power of music to enrich lives
