A Holiday For Americana

The Winter Festival is a holiday celebration put on by our staff and volunteers for the families and participants of Americana's programs and social services. To gear up for this celebration, we host a Toy Drive in the months of October, November and December, accepting hats, scarves, books, and novelty items to distribute to our festival attendees. The goal of this fundraising event is to give back to the participants that make Americana the great community that it is today.

Unlike other Americana annual events, this festival is not open to the public and is held specifically for participants and youth of our community center. About 300 families attend the Winter Festival every year. This is made possible with the help of partnering organizations and dedicated volunteers.
