Where Your Money Goes
Your contribution helps cover the essential costs of organizing this community event, including:
- Permits, logistics, and safety for the parade route and festival grounds
- Rental of stages, sound, and lighting for live entertainment
- Setup of vendor booths, kids’ activities, and community cultural exhibits
- Marketing and promotion to reach a wider audience
- Volunteer coordination and materials
- Even though the event is organized entirely by volunteers, it still takes significant resources to keep it running smoothly each year.
