PhilanthroFest, the nation’s largest community engagement festival, presents their carnival-inspired event to connect people, passion and philanthropy.

PhilanthroFest will take place @ Museum Park, located between PAMM and American Airlines Arena,  with the goal of connecting potential volunteers and donors to non-profit organizations while creating an environment that promotes civic engagement, deepens community connections and sparks the philanthropic spirit of South Florida.

This year’s event will bring together over 120 non-profits, dozens of artists and scores of sponsors and vendors with thousands of attendees looking to engage with great causes and brands.

PhilanthroFest will transform 30 acres at Museum Park to recreate a carnival dreamland featuring games, rides, food, performances, live giveaways and special surprises throughout the day.

To accomplish this goal, PhilanthroFest 2015 will incorporate a series of attraction areas throughout Museum Park:

BIG TOP: Serving as the heart of the festival, this area includes mind-blowing magic, “Meet the Characters” (princesses and superheroes), curated programming, theatric performances, music acts and shows that will entertain all ages.

COMMUNITY WALKS: Non-profits will share their mission, offerings and engagement options in the following categorized areas: City & Environment, People & Education, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Health & Wellness and Arts & Culture.

LAND, SEA & AIR ROWS: These dedicated areas will allow attendees to experience first-hand the finest in aviation, automotive, boating, cruising, pastimes and accommodations.

FUNVILLE: Bounce, soar, learn and unleash your creative spirit with fun interactive adventures for the entire family including a rare appearance by world-famous Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel!

GIVING CIRCLE: The PhilanthroCA$H initiative will inspire the next generation of giving by allowing children to decide whether to use their carnival game winnings as a donation to their charity of choice at the festival, or trade them for food or prizes to share with their friends and family. At the end of the festival, participating non-profits will turn in their PhilanthroCA$H coins and convert them to dollars that will benefit their respective missions.

TASTE TOWN: From special VIP tasting options to food trucks, carnival bites and plenty of sweet treats to go around, the tasty options will keep you energized around the festival all day long.

SPECIAL AREAS: Dispersed throughout the festival, special zones will be dedicated to unique experiences including Art Village, Hero City and Zen Zone, as well as relaxing Rest Stop areas.
