SBVC’S 3rd Annual SummerFest Breaks Multiple Records
On Saturday, July 6th, SBVC's campus reverberated with music and the boom of fireworks as SummerFest 2024 took place for its third year. The annual extravaganza once again united the community into a vibrant tapestry of food, fun, and fireworks under the baton of Maestro Anthony Parnther and the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra. The event, a collaboration between SBVC and the San Bernardino Symphony, attracted over 3,000 attendees to the campus to partake in the festivities - the highest number the campus has yet seen.
Although the region was undergoing a record heat wave that same weekend, community members couldn’t resist braving the weather to partake in the concert and festivities that have become a staple in the area’s summer events calendar. Community vendors had a wide audience to share their offerings with and families could participate in a variety of activities such as coloring pages featuring Blue the Wolverine and face painting. One of the standout highlights of SummerFest 2024 was the Symphony’s breaking of the world record for the largest ensemble of piccolo players ever assembled, with an impressive lineup of 192 musicians.
