Dear Greyhound Nation,

Pope High School is celebrating its 40th year, and the entire community is invited to be a part of the celebration at PopeFest 2026 on Friday, August 14.

PopeFest is more than a concert; it's a family-friendly community festival designed to bring together current students, future Greyhounds, alumni, families, neighbors, faculty, staff, and local businesses for one unforgettable evening on the Pope High School campus.

Whether your family is currently part of the Pope community or will one day call Pope home, PopeFest is an opportunity to experience the spirit, pride, and traditions that make Pope High School such a special place.

The festival will feature something for everyone, including:

• Live music throughout the evening, headlined by Guardians of the Jukebox
• PopeFEAST, featuring a variety of local food vendors and festival favorites
• An Artisan Market showcasing local makers, creators, and student entrepreneurs
• Family-friendly entertainment
• A spectacular professional fireworks show

Gates open at 5:00 PM, with live DJ entertainment kicking off the event and live performances continuing throughout the evening. The festival will culminate with an exciting performance by Guardians of the Jukebox, accompanied by a spectacular fireworks finale produced by Pyrotecnico.

https://popefest.org/ celebrates not only 40 years of Pope High School excellence and success, but also the vibrant community that continues to support our students, schools, and families. We invite everyone, from our youngest future Greyhounds to our proudest alumni, to join us for an evening of music, food, fun, and community celebration.

Tickets are on sale now through GoFan. With limited capacity and strong community interest, tickets are expected to sell out. Secure yours today at GoFan and be part of this historic celebration.

One Community. One Legacy. One Unforgettable Night.
