Our Impact
Testimonials
It was an amazing visit to see talented, creative performers and be swept up in the creativity with hands-on crafts.
The quality of the festival is beyond question…In fact, I would be willing to say there are few events of similar magnitude for adults that can boast such a high quality.
The performance was amazing! So many happy and unforgettable memory-making experiences…we’re inspired to keep tapping into our creativity. The Festival gets better and better every year!
