We could not make this Festival happen without sponsorship and we are so grateful for For All Seasons, the Talbot County Department of Social Services, Talbot Family Network, Talbot Arts and the Town of Easton.

To think that we could pull off any event without the support of Mayor Megan Cook and the Town of Easton would be an understatement…from Lorraine at Parks & Recreation to the team at Easton Police Department to the crew at Public Works, we are so thankful for your support. Thank you to Easton Utilities for making sure we have electric in the Park, Talbot Arts & the Maryland State Arts Council for their continued support and lastly to our friends at the Chesapeake Multicultural Festival Resource Center who are always terrific partners.

On behalf of the Avalon Foundation Staff & Board, we thank you for being part of such a wonderful day of community and celebrating one another.
