Each year, youth performers, local designers, and community advocates join us to share their gifts, inspire confidence, and embrace the values of peace, collaboration, and self-expression. We are deeply grateful to our supporters, volunteers, and families who make this event possible. Your dedication ensures that every participant has the opportunity to shine, connect, and grow within a community that uplifts one another.
