“Have you
ever wanted to get involved with your community, but didn’t know how or where to
start?” “Do you love where you live and take pride in Fishers”? “Would you like
for your children to get involved with community projects”? “Does your church,
work, or child’s school require community service hours”? We offer something for
everyone! The Fishers Parade and Festival, Inc. with their special events and
outreach programs can help you get involved at whatever level you have time for.
Time commitments can range from two hours a year to as much time as you would
like to dedicate. Don’t have much time, but want to do something... collect
school supplies.
