The upcoming cultural festival at Julia Davis Park is set to take place on August 10, marking its third consecutive year. Organizers anticipate around 2,000 attendees per hour during peak hours from 1 PM to 5 PM, aiming to promote understanding and harmony within the Treasure Valley community.

The event will feature a variety of activities, including live music, educational speakers, and a diverse range of vendors. A dedicated kids' area will offer games and an obstacle course, while a talent contest and a \"Share Your Talent\" segment will encourage community participation. Additionally, the festival will include a STEM and Health Village, providing hands-on activities for all ages.

Preparations for the festival will begin on August 9, with vendor setup scheduled from 3 PM to 8 PM. The festival itself will kick off at 11 AM on August 10, with a beer garden opening at noon and festivities concluding at 8 PM. Cleanup is expected to start shortly after.

Safety measures are a priority, with a lost child area, private security from Fortis Protection Group, and a partnership with the Boise Police Department to ensure a secure environment. Medical support will be provided by Acute Rescue, including paramedics and emergency medical technicians.

The festival will also feature 90 registered vendors, including 51 food vendors, and will utilize a parking agreement with the BSU Bridal parking garage for overflow parking. Organizers are working closely with local health authorities to finalize vendor lists and ensure compliance with health regulations.

With a well-structured plan in place, the festival promises to be a vibrant celebration of black culture and community engagement in the heart of Boise.
