By GARETT VALCOURTThe Wildcat Nation Booster Club announced the return of the second annual Wildcat Festival set to take place on Saturday, May 4, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Building upon the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year promises an even grander celebration of community spirit and support for the students of Bethlehem High School.
The festival, held at the school’s premises, will showcase a diverse range of activities and attractions for all ages. Highlights include a captivating car show, free kids’ activities, and a vibrant array of arts, crafts, and food vendors.
Attendees can expect a lively atmosphere filled with camaraderie and fun-filled moments.
Entry into the festival is free of charge, offering an accessible opportunity for families and individuals to come together and enjoy the festivities. However, car enthusiasts can participate in the car show for a nominal entry fee of $20 per vehicle.
With ambitions to surpass last year’s participation, organizers aim to attract entries to compete for coveted awards, including Best of Show, Fan Favorite, and Participants’ Choice.
The Wildcat Festival is more than just a day of entertainment. It serves as a fundraiser hosted by the Wildcat Nation Booster Club. All proceeds generated from the event will directly benefit the students of Bethlehem High School, providing crucial support to athletics, clubs, and classroom initiatives.
“Bringing people together is what our communities need more of, and that is what we are trying to do—giving people a good day to enjoy and see what a wonderful community we have here in the Wildcat Nation,” event coordinator Amanda Marshall said.
