Thank you for any consideration of sponsoring Southside Summer Festival. We are looking forward to speaking with you and answering any questions you may have.
Be a part of the 4th Annual Southside Summer Festival, presented by Marist. We are seeking volunteers to help with this Southside summer tradition, in a variety of positions.
Tickets are selling fast, and we are anticipating this year’s event to be the largest and most successful ever. For our attendees to have the best experience possible, we could use a few more volunteers this year. Volunteer shifts are still available, with most shifts being about two hours.
Volunteers will receive an event t-shirt, and free admission to one of the best nights on the Southside.
