Interested in helping out at this year’s festival? Learn all about it at our volunteer orientation on Thursday, May 18! In just one hour, you’ll be trained in all the skills you’ll need to make 2017’s Heart of the City the best one yet. The orientation starts at 7 p.m. at the Parkdale Cromdale Community League Hall (11335 85 Street). If you have any questions, please email heartcityfest@gmail.com.

We are also looking for local artists to feature their works at the festival! Please email heartcityart@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

Of course, everyone is welcome to attend the free festival on June 3 and 4 in Giovanni Caboto Park (109 Avenue & 95 Street). There will be music, art, spoken word, and other diverse creative activities. See you there!

Rylan is a board member with Heart of the City.
