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.      (info provide by ytofestival.com)
