Want to get involved and receive a free Street Food Festival t-shirt?
We are currently seeking volunteers to help the afternoon of the event and with cleanup. Afternoon volunteers will be event logistics ambassadors, assisting in the children's area, with vendors, and helping guests as needed. Volunteers will be given a sheet with the schedule of entertainment and a site map with names of booths/ activities so they can answer questions. Cleanup volunteers will help with the breakdown of tables and tents, and removal of trash and debris to return the street to pre-event conditions. ALL volunteers receive an event t-shirt. Sign up here!
Share Your Voice!
The Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation is conducting the social capital survey to better understand the priorities of people who live and work in Walnut Hills and the perceptions of how the community has changed over time.
Please complete this survey if you live, work, or own a business in Walnut Hills.
All information given on the survey will remain confidential. All personal information will be used only to determine whether the survey respondents represent the demographic makeup of the community. We appreciate your time in completing the survey. Check out the survey here!
You can catch us out and about the neighborhood with Walnut Wheels for opportunities to take the survey. Stay tuned for times and locations.
