Background:

Funds are needed to secure a variety of performing artists of Latino heritage, promote and market the event, recruit volunteers, host free family activities, oversee event operations, obtain required state and city permits, and clean the venue to the satisfaction of the City.
The Partnership through Sponsorship Program was created in 1995 by City Council to support community groups and neighbors that host free, non-alcoholic events that celebrate cultural, ethic and artistic diversity for the entertainment and enjoyment by the greater Columbus community. All events must occur within a Columbus park, facility, street or public place.
