TOCO Family Festival offers children and families an opportunity to learn about Outdoor Experience, Music, STEM, Art, and Spanish through interactive weekend-long, hands-on activities. Stories, songs, games, and friendship inspire a love of learning. Campers also enjoy over 25 diverse musical acts and a pool stage full of family fun! This unique fundraiser helps to support our textile pantry. While at the same time fulfills our mission to empower children and families through green and community partnerships. Come join our community and enjoy a weekend of fun, camping, top-notch music & arts entertainment & much more.
One TOCO Festival attendee spoke about how the TOCO experience positively impacts her son’s life as he faces significant personal challenges. The climate at TOCO gives him a safe place to explore. His mother believes his time at TOCO Family Festival has helped him overcome some of those challenges he faces. His mom believes the opportunity to Grow Up TOCO has transformed the life of her son and her whole family. She says, “Thank you for creating TOCO and the TOCO Family Festival. It has given my family a tradition. It has also given my sons a place to grow into better people. It has given Nathan an opportunity to overcome some of his disabilities. It has made my family happier.”
Today, in addition to being TOCO nonprofit’s primary fundraiser, TOCO Family Festival has the programmatic effect of helping kids become their best selves. To Grow Up TOCO means learning through example, how to grow through music and the arts. It means learning how to spend time outside. It means learning the importance of service and how to seek out opportunities to serve.
It means, doing your best, having fun, making a friend, and helping someone! The most important value kids (and adults) learn when they Grow up TOCO is that kindness matters. Our children are turning into better versions of themselves because of Tapestry of Community Offerings and TOCO Family Festival.

TOCO Family Festival Sponsorships
We are actively seeking event sponsors and donors.
YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE! We are humbly seeking tax deductible donations to sponsor our 20th Annual TOCO Family Festival on August 27th and 28th at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Eureka, Missouri. TOCO Festival is the primary fundraiser supporting Tapestry of Community Offerings (TOCO) programs.
Every year the funds raised at TOCO Family Festival act as the primary fundraiser for Tapestry of Community Offerings. This year the Board of Directors and Festival Management have decided to additionally address a need in our community. A portion of this year’s proceeds will be donated to organizations helping support the local individuals of the hard hit area entertainment industry. For years, area musicians, artists, sound, stage and light crews and restaurants have donated goods, time and talent to make our event a success and this year we want to give back. Contact Christine at tocofamily2021@gmail.com if you would like to be a festival sponsor.
