Hey West Hillians! Planning is underway for this year's 2nd annual Wonderfest! Did you go to last year's Wonderfest? Do you have no idea what we're talking about?

Wonderfest is a music and art festival to celebrate everything that's weird and wonderful about West Hill. More than 300 people came together last year and this year we want to make it even bigger and better. But we can't do that without you!

Fill out this form and let us know what you would like to see more of at Wonderfest 2023. While you're there, sign up to volunteer. More importantly, save the date for Saturday, September 23! We have a full day (and night) of activities planned with a little something for everyone. Stay tuned for details and applications for performers and vendors coming soon.
