The Violet Crown Festival is an annual celebration of the Brentwood and Crestview neighborhoods, attracting thousands of visitors each summer to enjoy a spectacular showcase of local art, entertainment and community activities in the heart of the neighborhood. The Violet Crown Community Works board is honored to host the Fifth Annual Violet Crown Festival on Saturday, May 5, 2007, from noon to 7 p.m. in Brentwood Park .

Enthusiastically supported by community groups and area businesses, the 2007 festival will feature a great line-up of Austin music; food from Curra's Grill and other local vendors; a community tent; artisans' booths; children's activities; a silent auction; and more.

The Violet Crown Festival offers your business an excellent opportunity for visibility through numerous promotions. Past festivals benefitted the Wall of Welcome Project, a tile-and-mosaic mural created by and for the residents of Brentwood and Crestview, to be completed this spring.

The festival continues to support Violet Crown Community Works, a non-profit organization dedicated to community improvement projects.

You can show your support in a variety of ways, including:

* Making a donation of cash or materials.
* Donating items or gift certificates for the festival¢s silent auction.
* Loaning photos or memorabilia related to Brentwood and/or Crestview to be scanned for an exhibit in the Community Tent. (Originals will be promptly returned to you.)

To participate, please contact Jennifer Husted, Sponsorship Co-Chair, at 323-0213 or by email at jmhusted@sbcglobal.net, or download a sponsorship packet below.
