WHEREAS, the Norcross Art Splash Festival, one of the largest annual events in the City of Norcross, first began in 2004 and has since grown into a major attraction, drawing large crowds from both within and outside the city while also supporting local businesses and fostering economic activity in downtown Norcross; and

WHEREAS, the success of the Norcross Art Splash Festival is made possible through the dedication of more than 100 volunteers, many of whom are Norcross citizens, who generously contribute their time and effort to assist artisans, set up and break down booths, and welcome visitors with warmth and hospitality; and

WHEREAS, Splash Festivals works in close collaboration with the City of Norcross, including the police department and city staff, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for festival attendees; and

WHEREAS, through their unique approach to event planning, Splash Festivals has established a strong reputation for producing high-quality festivals that engage communities, attract thousands of visitors, and celebrate the spirit of the arts; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable company be appropriately honored.
