All day long, we’re hosting a family-friendly festival with music, games, face-painting, balloon art, ice cream, funnel cake, a juggler, pony rides, beer, and more! The festival starts at 10:00 am, but you’re welcome to come early—enjoy breakfast, dance along with MIX 101.5 to get warmed up, and cheer on the Walk as it kicks off! Then enjoy all the activities, a delicious lunch from the Angus Barn, and celebrate with our top fundraisers as they win incredible prizes. Once you’re registered and onsite, everything is complimentary!

And the best part: you don’t have to do the 5K Walk to participate. Come out any time to enjoy the day!

The Walk for Hope is more than a community event—it’s a huge fundraiser for the research and treatment of mental illnesses. Whether you’re participating in the Walk or just attending the festival, all pricing is the same! Walk, then stay on the Angus Barn property to enjoy the festivities.
