The anticipated turnout is more than 500 <br />community members. This number is based on our turn out the previous <br />years. The mission of the festival is to promote a positive image of African <br />Americans and other minorities in our community through the medium of art, <br />music, dance, drama, and poetry. All contracted artists will be members of <br />the BIPOC community. Attendees will leave with a greater appreciation of <br />the importance of the arts and how it has played a pivotal role in African <br />American Culture. This event is outdoors and includes voter registration, <br />Black owned food trucks & vendors, and activities such as a bounce house <br />and face painting for children. W e look forward to bringing this family event <br />to our community. <br />Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2024) <br />April 12, 2025 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2025) <br />April 12, 2025 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 65D787F0-450A-4479-AF01-20CDDD52421F
