Just after the Awards Ceremony in the Bass Performance Hall, the Sundance Plaza Party begins! Enjoy live music in the Plaza performed by Havana NRG; and celebrate the 2025 Cliburn medalists—who will be introduced as the newest honorary Fort Worthians by Mayor Mattie Parker—finishing with a Van Cliburn-themed fireworks spectacle.
Free to attend and open to the whole city, Sundance Plaza will be filled with Cliburn Family, from the 600 volunteers that help make the Competition possible along with our international visitors, press, arts industry professionals, and patrons.
