The Urbandale Education Foundation and Urbandale Alumni Association are excited to announce that the third annual U-Fest is set for Friday, August 5, 2022 at the Walker Johnston Softball Diamonds. The event will start at 4:30 p.m. and end at 9:30 p.m.
U-Fest is a fun, festive, family-friendly event featuring food trucks, bounce houses, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and live music performed by Faculty Lounge among other activities, plus a special announcement from event organizers. All proceeds and sponsorship funds will be for student scholarships and classroom grants. At last year’s U-Fest, roughly $5,000 was raised as part of the $16,000 awarded for classroom grants for Urbandale educators and $26,000 for scholarships for Urbandale students.
“We are looking forward to hosting another festive U-Fest event in support of our mission to enhance educational opportunities for Urbandale Community School District students, teachers and staff,” said Meribeth Haynes, president of the Urbandale Education Foundation and co-chair of Urbandale Alumni Association. “U-Fest is a great opportunity for the community to enjoy a casual social environment together and alumni to reconnect.”
Entry fee is $10 for adults and $3 for individuals age 13-18. Children 12 and younger will receive free entrance. Entrance fee will include one drink ticket. Parking will be available off of Douglas Avenue at Walker Johnston Softball Diamonds and on the east side by the Giovannetti Community Shelter. The south side by Valerius Elementary will be fenced off and not accessible.
The graduating classes of 1972, 1977, 1982 and 2012 will be celebrating their reunions at U-Fest.
