Festival games and activities include a cake walk, bounce house, inflatable slide, balloon blast, ring toss, food bingo, arts and crafts, face painting, DJ music, dancing and more. Activities are free to the public and carnival food will be available for purchase.
Free shuttle bus service will be available during the festival around Sandy Springs. Please check the event website at www.oucac.org/foodnfun for details.
Patrons are asked to bring food donations for CAC's food pantry. Proceeds from the event will benefit CAC, and provide for local families seeking assistance during the summer months when the pantry often runs low on food.
