About VHCA
Summerfest is an annual fundraiser for the Virginia-Highland Civic Association. The Virginia-Highland Civic Association is a non-profit organization committed to maintaining and improving the historic Virginia-Highland neighborhood. Summerfest, followed by the Tour of Homes, are the two largest fundraisers for the Virginia-Highland neighborhood.
The VHCA focuses on fundraising, safety, parks, grants, planning, preservation, community events, and more. The VHCA is governed by a board of 11 directors elected by the community annually.
The VHCA Board uses funds raised from Summerfest to improve and maintain the community-owned North Highland Park, to make annual grants to neighborhood schools, nonprofits (including Trees Atlanta) and the neighborhood public library and to contribute funds to projects throughout the neighborhood.
