Give back, have a blast at Arts Alive Festival

If you are looking for a fun and exciting way to give back to the community, consider volunteering for the 2016 Arts Alive & Street Painting Festival.

The dynamic festival take places from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1 at the Oso Viejo Community Park on the Village Green and neighboring Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.

Celebrating the arts and culture of the 1990s, this year’s event will feature a cornucopia of fun – arts and crafts vendors, musical and dance performances as well as amazing street paintings brought to life. The two-day event includes an array of tasty fare, a beer and wine garden and first-time regional student art show.

High school students seeking community service hours and seniors who enjoy interacting with others are sought to help with arts and crafts activities throughout the weekend. Volunteers will also help at various community booths or with event set-up and take down. Volunteer shifts are three hours maximum.

To volunteer, email libraryvolunteers@cityofmissionviejo.org with your name, contact information and availability.
