News Center 7 attended the festival Saturday and saw everything from face painting to rides, and live music.

The money raised at the festival helps keep Archbishop Alter High School’s tuition low through financial aid.

The Archbishop Alter High School Principal Lourdes Lambert said there is something even more important that is accomplished throughout the festival.

“More important than the fundraising, I think is the friend-raising. We want people to know we’re part of the community and we’re here, we’re here to serve others,” Lambert said.
