The Columbia Wave Fest is a community event that promotes wellness by connecting children, youth, and families to available resources and fun activities! This celebratory event is in partnership with First Choice Community Center and is the kick-off initiative for Children's Mental Health Month for May 2024, which promotes the positive impact of mental health and substance use recovery. We serve as Messengers of Hope by letting everyone know that recovery is possible. We believe that every individual’s emotional wellness is vital to overall health and success, regardless of age.

We will have food trucks, a Kids Zone, live entertainment and health screenings! Come out to get connected to resources and enjoy family fun! New this year is the Wave Fest Market with local vendors selling items to enhance wellness. Vendors interested in the market may apply by purchasing an Eventbrite ticket or completing this form. You will be contacted to discuss details. The market vendor fee is $50.00.
