Wrapping Up 2025
A Note from Our Executive Director
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on an incredible year for the Freedom Festival. None of what we accomplish would be possible without the unwavering support of our community, our dedicated team, and our amazing board members.
As a local nonprofit, our mission is to bring people together, celebrate our community, and create memorable experiences, all at little to no cost for families to enjoy. This year, we celebrated so many special moments, from unforgettable events that brought our community together, to exciting new initiatives and fundraisers that helped us grow and innovate. Each smile, each cheer, and each shared experience reminds me why the Freedom Festival exists.
I am endlessly grateful for every supporter who joined us in person, contributed their time, or made a donation. Your commitment and generosity make our vision a reality. To our volunteers and staff, thank you for your tireless energy, creativity, and dedication, you are the heartbeat of this festival. And to our board, your guidance and leadership help shape each event into something truly extraordinary.
As we look toward 2026, we are filled with excitement for what’s ahead including celebrating our 43rd festival alongside America’s 250th anniversary. Together, we will continue to grow, innovate, and bring joy to our community in ways big and small.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to an even brighter year ahead!
With gratitude, Brittany Barnhart Executive Director Freedom Festival
