Come one, come all to the 20th Annual Funtastik Summer Classic Footbag
Tournament & Festival Labor Day weekend. This event is held in conjunction
with the city of Harrisburg's Kipona festival. Thousands of people view the
events on Sunday and Monday. Bring your family and friends. There is plenty
of things for them to do if footbag isn't their thing. This
tournament/festival has a reputation for fun and plenty of prizes.
Not sure you should make the trip for whatever reason? Please consider, you
just might just miss out on the MOST fun you could have in one weekend,
meeting that special someone or a footbag legend, learning that 3 or 4 add
move, or meeting up with friends you haven't seen for awhile! SO,JUST
COME!!!
Please note that the tournament will be held at the same field, just a
different name, as the past 8 years on Saturday. On Sunday and Monday
we ARE NOT on City Island. We are on the city side of the river at the
north end of the Festival on Front Street (the street that runs aside of the
river)at the intersection of Forrester by the Harvey Taylor Bridge. Please
pass the word.
