Our Mission

Our mission is to build a joyful, welcoming space where Toledo’s community can gather in celebration of creativity, culture, and human connection. We believe art in every form — music, visual storytelling, performance, wellness, and interactive experiences — has the power to inspire, to heal, and to bring people together.

Through this festival, we aim to expand and elevate Toledo’s creative ecosystem by providing local artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and innovators with a powerful platform to showcase their brilliance. This is more than an event — it’s an immersive creative journey designed to spark imagination, encourage collaboration, nurture growth, and deepen appreciation for the arts across all generations.

At the heart of our brand is the idea of creatively innovating an NJOYFUL moment — a space where everyone feels seen, welcomed, connected, and inspired. We want every guest to experience the passion and artistry of our city — and to leave with lasting memories filled with creativity, community, and joy.
