In addition to music, attendees can enjoy food trucks, a professional art gallery, yard games, and more, making the event a perfect outing for families, students, alumni, and community members alike. Mental health awareness will also be highlighted, with The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) joining the event to share important resources.

iMPAC Live Fest is a unique opportunity for MGCCC’s Live Entertainment students to take the reins and run an entire show, providing hands-on experience in event production, stage management, and performance.

“This event is a celebration of our students’ talent and hard work,” said Aaliyah Dock-Caldwell, director of HRM & iMPAC Business Development. “It’s also a time for our employees, families, and the community to come together, enjoy live entertainment, and support the arts on our campus.”
