Opportunity Details
Lend a Hand at PROPER's Summer Community Festival (age 10+) Referral
Join us for our 23rd annual summer-ain't-over PROPER Neighborhood Festival, a free, family- friendly and all ages welcome event that’s all about getting to know your neighbor. It will be held on Saturday, August 16th at Historic Kenton Park and has averaged 1,000 person turnout, but this year our aim is to quadruple that number!
The free food is the main draw, as community minded people love to serve and everyone loves to eat. Other draws included local quality music and other live entertainment, engaging community speakers, information/resource booths and activities.
For over 20 years, PROPER has created platforms in underrepresented communities for local organizations, builders, and talent, to share their resources for benefit the immediate neighborhood. This is at No-Cost to the public.
