The festival celebrated the vibrant spirit of Flushing by bringing together children and their families for a day of creativity and community engagement.
From the moment the event began, the energy and enthusiasm of the participants were palpable. Children of various ages showcased their artistic talents and imagination, producing stunning works of art that captured the essence of the Flushing community. The event featured a drawing contest with three age categories (ages 4-7, 8-13, and 14-18), providing an opportunity for young artists to express themselves and compete for exciting prizes.
The festival's atmosphere was filled with joy and positivity as families and friends gathered to support the young artists. Attendees enjoyed a day of art-making, mingling, and celebrating the creativity of Flushing's youth.

We are incredibly proud of all the young artists who participated and shared their talents with us."
The festival concluded with an award ceremony, recognizing the winners from each age category for their outstanding artwork. The event was made possible through the generous support of sponsors and volunteers who helped ensure the day was a resounding success.
