“Volunteering for the Columbia Festival of the Arts provides a rewarding opportunity to share a creative and fun experience with neighbors, friends and numerous Festival artists. Each year the Columbia Festival of the Arts inspires, entertains and provides a culturally enriching experience for all! ”
-Steve Drakos
“As the volunteer transportation coordinator for the Festival, I have had the personal opportunity to meet such nationally known performers as Garrison Keillor, Mark O’Connor, Bo Diddley, Emmylou Harris, Sir James Galway, Wynton Marsalis, Itzhak Perlman, Max Roach and Marcel Marceau just to name a few! It wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the Columbia Festival of the Arts.
Yes, for over 20 years, the Festival has brought unparalleled entertainment to Columbia. Each summer the Festival has presented exciting performers, including show-stopping acts from newly emerging artists. Be prepared to be entertained and left with memories that will last a lifetime.”
