Festival Hub: Format

The Scene: FORMAT is a multidisciplinary experience unifying over eighty live music acts with two dozen visual, performance, and institutional artists from around the world. Set on 250 acres of a natural landing strip surrounded by a forested ravine, the festival aims to encourage discovery, spark curiosity, and build community.

Format Festival 2024: TBD September 2024

2023 was a fantastic year for FORMAT Festival. We are inspired by Bentonville, its community and its dedication to the arts. It has always been our intention to hold FORMAT annually, however, we have made the decision to take a pause in 2024.
