The Children’s Art Festival & Holiday Joy event celebrated its 20th year on December 3rd, 2011. A much anticipated event for students of all ages from West Past County, it offers a unique opportunity for students to exhibit their original works of art and perform for the community.
The festival is intended to promote excellence in Arts education in West Pasco schools and also provides an exciting performance opportunity for area school Choral groups & bands.
We’d like to say thank you to the Parks & Rec department for their partnership and assistance in making this event possible as well as to Unique Awards & Engraving for their continued support.
