Annual Fundraising Events

Have a great time while supporting a great cause! Our fundraising events are must-have tickets for a reason. Your patronage helps us provide memories for thousands of community members every year!

The 2025 F.M. Kirby Center Photo Auction Presented by Comitz Law, LLC, will be held from Thursday, July 31 at 10am to Monday, August 4 at noon.

This year’s auction features photos taken during the F.M. Kirby Center’s 2024-2025 season by Director of Marketing Neil Prisco and Marketing Associate Gene Axton. Proceeds from the auction will support the F.M. Kirby Center’s arts education children’s programming.

Featured shows include America, Andrew Dice Clay, BEAT, Brit Floyd, Chubby Checker, Daughtry, Disco Biscuits, DSO, Experience Hendrix, Lee Brice, Magic of Motown, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Trey Anastasio, Vince Gill, and more!

A few special entries from local photographers Jason Riedmiller and Amanda Hrycyna spotlight some of the amazing shows that’ve taken place at the F.M. Kirby Center. Proceeds from the sale of these photos will be split between the F.M. Kirby Center and the photographer. It’s a great way to support local artists and our kids programs at the same time!

All winners will be contacted by a Kirby Center staff member on Tuesday, August 5, to coordinate fulfillment.

The event features beer, wine, and food tastings from over 25 different local vendors. It also includes live music, art, and a silent auction with signed memorabilia from some of the biggest stars that have graced the Kirby stage! All proceeds from this event go towards children’s programming and our community outreach program.

Mark your calendars for the next F.M. Kirby Fest on Saturday, April 18, 2026! More information on tickets and sponsorships will be available soon.
