The festival will also feature Chill Lounges, a Resource Center, a College and Job Fair, carnival games, and a variety of delectable food truck options. The best part? Admission is entirely free.

This inclusive event welcomes youth aged 24 and under, as well as their friends and families, to come together in a spirit of celebration and togetherness.
