79th Street Renaissance Festival *Donate Online Campaign*

** The 79th Street Renaissance Festival is a free community festival! **

City regulations require that festivals do not charge residents entrance fees to use public streets, which means the fee we are asking for is a suggested donation or sponsorship, not a requirement to enter. While some festivals around the city are for-profit, many are the largest fundraisers of the year for nonprofit organization's like the Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation. You can donate through our online campaign or all day at the RenFest. Help us reach our 2014 RenFest fundraising goal!

** $5 donation recommended; Accepting donations and sponsorships **
