A free community celebration in downtown Alliance, Ohio — presented by The Broken Crayons. Live music, speakers, free food, and a whole community of organizations showing up to give back. Every bit of it free. The date is under wraps for now — watch for the big reveal.
"The Prodigal Son" headlines the Fest — live music with a story of redemption behind it. Alliance has heard him before: he played an Anchor House event here nearly a decade ago.
