Your Sponsorship and Donations help keep our Nonprofit Legacy alive since 1945…
Each year, we proudly feature a Professionally Judged PRIZE MONEY Contest that awards MONEY for Community made Floats, Dance, Drill Teams, Marching Units, and Community Bands - a spirited showcase where our nonprofit gives back to the talented performers, many youth groups, who bring energy, culture, talent and creativity to our parade streets. Add to our signature parade, the community village booths, the NEW Sports FAN Zone, gourmet food trucks, live performances, and family fun — and you’ve got a festival that will spark joy and leave a powerful legacy of building community.
Want to support? It takes a Village has been our history—and you’re a vital Part. As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), we count on local champions like you to help with donations to keep this legacy event accessible and support our Charitable Initiatives for generations to come—we raise funds for:
