The city of Lewisville is two weeks away from celebrating spring with ColorPalooza, one of the area’s most colorful and vibrant events, and it is still seeking volunteers to help the event run smoothly.
This year’s ColorPalooza is scheduled for April 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., in and around Wayne Ferguson Plaza, 150 W. Church St. ColorPalooza: A Celebration of Spring is a family-friendly outdoor festival, featuring a wide variety of exhibits and interactive activities with a “spring” feel, according to a city news release. Visitors will get to show off their artistic abilities, watch skilled artists create one-of-a-kind masterpieces, learn to better care for the earth and learn how to make their homes more environmentally friendly.
Available volunteer roles include Interactive Arts & Crafts Assistant, and DJ Experience Attendants. To sign up, visit the ColorPalooza page on timecounts.app.
