FESTIVAL HISTORY
The roots of the festival began in 1995 as a way to respond proactively to KKK activities in the area.
The festival was officially founded in 1996 by Eugene Donaway, Bea Corra and a small group of citizens with the goal of increasing multi-cultural awareness in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Mr. Donaway passed away in 2004. In his honor a tree was planted at the City Park. During the festival the tree sits stage right.
