What a phenomenal weekend it was at ToonFest last Saturday! Thank you for an amazing Weekend at ToonFest! As we look back on the event, we're still buzzing with excitement and gratitude for the incredible turnout and the vibrant energy that filled the air. From the moment the doors opened until the very last doodle was drawn, ToonFest was a whirlwind of creativity, fun, and connection!


It was a celebration of creativity, community, and collaboration.

The festival was much more than just an opportunity to showcase our work. It was a celebration of creativity, community, and collaboration. The array of other vendors brought their own unique flair to the event, creating a rich tapestry of experiences for everyone involved. From artisanal crafts and delicious food to interactive exhibits and live performances, there was something for everyone to enjoy. It was heartwarming to see the way attendees embraced the diverse offerings, making the event a true reflection of the community spirit we cherish.



With our team of talented artists drawing, sketching, and interacting with attendees non-stop, we were in awe of how all of the artists stayed busy from the start of the festival to the very end! It was truly magical to see so many faces light up as their caricatures were revealed. Each sketch was a testament to the passion we have for what we do and the joy we find in sharing that with our community!

We had world-renowned artists and award-winning artists at ToonFest. Which included Sebastian Martin, Destin Andrews, Reanna Maiden, Sean Davis, Gabby Gonzalez, Meagan Lafferty, Bobby Morris, and AJ Jensen.

The talent that The ToonHeadz brings to all events is astonishing! ToonFest was nothing short of exceptional because of the ToonHeadz Team's creativity. Each caricature that was handed out was jam packed with talent and creativity - and a lot of attendees got to walk away with a fun memento to remember their time at Toonfest. There were a lot of attendees that got back in line to start their caricature collection that day.



The ToonFest was amazing! We had a line of over 25 people the entire festival for the free caricatures and The ToonHeadz Team drew over 600 people!

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the attendees who joined us at ToonFest. It was truly wonderful to see families outside enjoying their time together on that perfect Saturday. Watching parents and children giggling and playing in the splash pad, with their faces beaming as they ate and explored the festival, was a joy to behold. Many families shared how they have been collecting caricatures over the years to capture their family’s growth and changes, and it was an honor to be part of that cherished tradition.

We are deeply grateful for the immense turnout and the way the community came together to support not only our artists and vendors but also local businesses. Events like ToonFest are vital in fostering a sense of local pride and economic support, and it's heartening to see how the community rallies to uplift and celebrate its own. Your support helps us continue to pursue our passion and ensures that local businesses thrive.

ToonFest was also a reminder of how many people just love caricatures! Many attendees waited in the long line to get their custom caricatures and other attendees getting back in line to get other caricatures from the other artists. This is an awesome idea as each artist has their own unique style.




"Our family had such a great time! After the kids finished playing on the splash pad, it was so nice to grab something to eat and enjoy the festival!" - Catherine M. ToonFest Attendee
