We seek to educate the community about the positive impacts the oil industry has on our local and state economies. The Kern Crude Festival is brought to the community by the Kern Energy Foundation.
Attendees can expect a popular Kid Zone area with fun and interactive exhibits that teach about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The Kern Crude Festival shows children the kids of career opportunities available to them, and shows families what we owe to this powerful industry that touches every part of our lives. Families can also enjoy several other activities including a bounce house and music, as well as food and beverage from local vendors.
Industry-related companies will have large equipment on display to answer questions about how the machinery is used for operations. These heavy pieces of machinery are rarely on public display, so this is a unique opportunity to see equipment used to generate energy. Companies will also display innovative technologies that have been adopted to improve use and efficiency within the oil industry.
The founders of the Kern Crude Festival have a primary objective to nurture future leaders in the oil industry. All proceeds from the Kern Crude Festival go toward educational charities to preserve learning for future generations. Funding generated from event sponsors is reinvested in the community through the form of scholarships and grants supporting energy and science education.
Thanks to the support of the generous sponsors, admission is FREE.
