Last year we had an estimated 9000 people of all ages attend the 2-day Festival held in the beautiful Paola Park Square. We are pleased to have provided a fun and entertaining event for our community. Just a sample of last years festival highlights include, a wide variety of live music featuring “Jonny Lang”, “Shemekia Copeland”, “Tommy Castro” and “Bernard Allison”.

Other great festival attractions included ethnic dancers, arts & crafts, food vendors, a State Championship BBQ Cook-off and for our younger festival goers, great games, fun rides and a creative sidewalk chalk contest!
