Festival Finances Breakdown

Expenses

38% Artists & Performers
A huge portion our festival expenses go directly towards every group you see attending our festival. Every participant of our festival is compensated in some way, usually through fees or donations by us.

36% Event Production
Rent, insurance, security, tents, electricity, chairs and tables, flags, decorations, port-a-potties, storage, equipment, shuttles, signage...the list goes on and on! Hosted inside a county park, we have to bring in absolutely everything needed to put on our festival. The setting of Krull Park causes enormous expenses.

9% Office & Administration
Every year we send hundreds and hundreds of letters, contracts and paperwork! Costs include ink, paper, copies, envelopes, stamps, and more office supplies. Also fees for accounting, paperwork, contracts and our website/ social marketing.

17% Education & Marketing
We have a streamlined system to promote our festival as affordably as possible, including our massive mailing list of past guests (which allows us to give discounts to our loyal fairgoers). A large portion of this budget goes towards supporting many annual Celtic events and festivals through purchasing advertising for their programs. We go to great lengths to support many local Celtic organizations, as their successes advance us all.
