Vendors are asked to contribute a percentage of sales income in reciprocity for a spot and to support this festival being possible. If this option does not work for you we can also do a flat rate or 2 hr. volunteering. One of our core values is building human relationships and community so we want to be in dialogue with you.
We need your support!
We need to raise an additional $7615 to cover the costs of this festival and make it a no paywall community event that supports the arts and artists to continue creating. Donations will go towards:
- Art supplies + Materials
- Venue expenses: shade cloth, toilet rental, etc.
- Organizing + hosting
- Artist honorariums
We depend on forming relationships and collaborations in the community. Partnering through sponsorship of the Cresset Center makes our programming possible and accessible (no paywalls).

The idea for this festival grew out of conversations among friend’s at Frank and Zuri’s wedding on June 22nd, 2024. We are excited to continue growing this celebration of art, love, the earth, and community
