Donate to Our 50 for the 50th Campaign!
Every donation counts, and if you are in the first 50 you will be eligible for the 50-50 VIP Club, ($50 or more ) or the 50-50 Jubilee Club (Donating more than $1,000). You will receive a commemorative Button which gives you entry into our VIP Wine Garden in the Festival June 21-23. You can also opt out of the 50-50 Club and simply make a donation.
It takes a lot to put on a free parade and festival, the largest arts-oriented event in three counties!.
Solstice initiated the "50-50" Campaign to raise $50,000 by May 31st. With the rising costs of production, we need to meet that goa to pay our staff and continue to produce this amazing people powered, people -created event! From our very own Board of Directors and local friends of Solstice we've raised $22,000 already! We would like to get to $25,000 by March 31st. Help us do that!
