The Burnsville Festival and Fire Muster is guided by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors that helps shape the vision and direction of the festival each year.
These community leaders work behind the scenes to support planning, partnerships, and decision-making that bring the event to life.
Their commitment helps ensure the festival continues to celebrate the spirit of Burnsville while creating meaningful experiences for families, neighbors, and visitors.
