16th Annual Nene Fest
A Festival for Neighbors by Neighbors

SAVE THE DATE – Saturday, APRIL 11, 2026  •  4:00–9:00 p.m.  •  Optimist Park

Join neighbors and friends to celebrate our community and enjoy live music at Optimist Park on Saturday, April 11, from 4pm to 9pm. Nene Fest was started in 2009 as a Festival by neighbors for neighbors; there are many ways to participate to help make it a success!

This year, we are entering the pre-planning phase for Nene Fest a bit earlier than usual. We hope to encourage broad neighborhood participation by making sure that opportunities to get involved are known well in advance. One of these is to perform on stage at the Fest: if you are interested and connected to the neighborhood, contact Richard Bertram, email hidden; JavaScript is required. Similarly, if you are interested in helping with the early stages of developing Puppet Show possibilities—whether potential storylines, choreography, puppet designs, contact Doug Schrock, email hidden; JavaScript is required. 

Please stayed tuned to find out more about all the ways that you can participate and contribution to help make our 16th Nene Fest truly for neighbors, by neighbors.
