Here's exactly what the event is about-The SoCal Youth Takeover Festival was developed as a charity fundraiser to empower local youth with a community event that gives them an outlet to enjoy a variety of activities in a safe and fun venue while raising funds for local non-profit organizations. Teens of all ages, families, and community members are invited to enjoy a variety of attractions including food, games, live music, vendors, giveaways, a fashion show, a $500 grand prize poetry slam contest, a $1000 grand prize dance contest and an incredible concert line-up with surprise celebrity appearances as well as educational and informational booths. Our purpose is to educate, embrace, support and celebrate the Southern California youth and young adult initiative while partnering with several local non-profit youth organizations to create awareness and bond community ties with a fun and peaceful event. Giving our teens an outlet to have positive new experiences to broaden their outlook on life, while dispensing educational information in a nonintrusive way with our charity organizations is a great way to lift our community.
