Tea Fest
Sip. Create. Connect.
September 12, 2026 | 11:00 AM–3:00 PM
Naftzger Park | Downtown Wichita
Tea Fest Wichita is Wichita's first community festival dedicated to tea, herbs, holistic wellness, and the arts. Hosted by Planted Tea Shop, this free, family-friendly event celebrates the connection between nature, creativity, and community through immersive experiences that invite people to learn, create, and connect.
Explore a curated marketplace featuring local artists, makers, herbalists, wellness businesses, nonprofits, and food vendors. Discover engaging wellness demonstrations, botanical-inspired art experiences, live acoustic music, and hands-on activities designed for all ages. Whether you're a lifelong tea enthusiast or simply curious, Tea Fest offers an opportunity to slow down, discover something new, and experience wellness in a welcoming and creative environment.
At the heart of the festival is Leaves of Wichita, a living community art installation where attendees contribute handwritten words of wisdom, encouragement, and hope on botanical leaves, creating a collaborative artwork that continues to grow beyond the festival.
Join us as we celebrate local creativity, botanical traditions, and the people who make Wichita thrive.
