For decades, the Immaculate Heart of Mary Festival has been one of the largest and most beloved festivals in the city, and we are excited to continue this wonderful tradition. With more than 10,000 visitors expected throughout the weekend, it is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business to our community.
We are seeking donations for our popular Bid n’ Buy Silent Auction. Your generous contribution will provide valuable exposure for your business through our online bidding platform and social media promotion, while also highlighting the products and services you offer. We encourage you to include any promotional materials along with your donation. Funds raised through the Bid n’ Buy support the many ministries of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.

We are still in need of new committee chairs this year, particularly for Indoor Kids’ Games and the Poker Table. These booths cannot operate without dedicated leaders, and your willingness to step forward would make a meaningful difference.

Training and support are fully provided, so even first‑time chairs can feel confident taking on the role.
To volunteer as a Committee Chair, please contact: Chris Stautberg, Festival Co-Chair, at 513-703-3450 or Neil Ernst, Festival Co-Chair, at 513-885-3648
