Keep Float Fest Afloat: Donate Now

Hello, we are Float Fest. We are a burgeoning music festival, the brainchild of someone who loves house shows, community, and festivals, but didn't have a location conducive to produce these things. One day, while sitting in his backyard, he realized - he does have a location to build community: The Millrace Canal. And thus, Float Fest was born, and here we are: Year five is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever! Float fest is a floating, moving music festival where the audience paddles, floats, or walks from stop to stop and performers play in different backyards, bridges, and floating stages along the race.

Support and attendance has blossomed every year and because of that, we’ve been able to expand leaps and bounds. From 3 bands behind a house with guests floating behind, to a moving experience with over a dozen musical acts, a floating stage, food and drink options - float fest just won’t stop. And that’s where you come in. We simply can’t do this alone. We have donors and sponsors, but with great expansion, comes added expense. We have our new stage, and expanded content, but now we have new sound needs, bigger bands traveling from across the US, more infrastructure needs, new branding, etc. We will accept donations during the fest, but like most events - we need to be able to purchase things and pay for services before the day of. Please help us make Float Fest possible!
