The festival provides a space where our local businesses can connect with and market their goods and services to our students and their families as well as our faculty and staff. Our ultimate goal is two-fold: 1) to showcase our local businesses and help them flourish, and 2) to show our incoming students that Danville cares about them and welcomes them home.
All businesses are asked to bring free samples and other giveaways; we’ll have food, music and a bounce house for kids. Come celebrate check-in day with us!
