International Festival of Arts & Ideas Pt. 2

Check out the second part of our 2026 International Festival of Arts & Ideas preview. Activities have been happening across New Haven's neighborhoods throughout May - now it's time to learn more about the 'main event' launching in early June in and around downtown. We'll tell you how to get in on all the music, talks, recitals, dance, exhibits, and interactive fun - which is mostly all free!
