Katy Charities Working Together in Service
Katy charities have a long-standing history of working together, but this summer they are really going all out to bring the Katy community together in a large-scale event sure to please all.
“This year we wanted to switch it up a bit and thought a community festival would be a good way to do just that,” says Tina Hatcher, Executive Director of Hope Impacts.
“Midsummer Festival is hosted by the same nonprofits that brought you the Katy Color run over the past five years,” says Hatcher, who promises that this event will bring the community together on a larger scale.
The event is a celebration of community through music, food, and fun after a year of so many events being canceled or postponed.
It All Happens This Saturday
The event is this Saturday, July 17 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Crosspoint Community Church (700 Westgreen Blvd.) and will benefit 6 local charities that benefit the Katy community.
General admission tickets are on sale now. General admission tickets are $10 (children ages 5 and under are free.)
“We are excited about this family friendly event,” says Tina Hatcher Executive Director of Hope impacts. “There will be a lot of kid activities at the country fair area with clowns, a petting zoo, a dunk booth, game booths, popcorn, snow cones and more.”
Locals can enjoy live music from bands like classic rock cover band from Bryan, TX; Midnight Express, Tejano Music Award Winner; Crystal Torres and Led Zeppelin tribute band out of Los Angels; Led Zepagain. Led Zeppelin lead guitarist, Jimmy Page has praised the tribute band claims they are “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.”
Local musicians will also take the stage at the festival as Katyites can tap their feet to fun beats while enjoying the festivities of the country fair.
