A Day of Community Celebration

The Let’s Goooo Festival will be a celebration of community spirit, featuring live music, games, activities for all ages, and the much-anticipated annual hot dog eating contest. Local businesses will participate, offering attendees a chance to discover and support unique products and services. The event will also include a petting zoo, face painting booths, temporary tattoos, bounce houses, basket donations, photographers, and more, ensuring a fun and purposeful afternoon. Part of the proceeds will be donated back to the community to support these causes.

Supporting Youth Sports

“We’re doing it to help out sports kids whose parents don’t have the money for it. That’s the main focus,” says Castano. “Our goal is to generate enough funds with this and future events to extend fields and attract parents and coaches to build more teams, so no child is left behind.”
