Where does the money go?


A majority of the proceeds from the festival all go back into the community and to other local, state and national charitable organizations.

49% goes toward funding Oakside Community Park, a 92 acre park located in Biglerville, PA, owned by the Upper Adams Jaycees. 

20% goes to the Upper Adams Jaycees, (sponsor of the festival) to fund their many projects: a community Easter Egg Hunt, movie nights in the park, food boxes and gifts to less fortunate families at Christmas, along with donations to other organizations and local families in need.

20% is donated directly to civic, school, church, scouting organizations, fire companies, and others.

11% is kept in reserve for emergencies and start-up for the next year's festival.

So when you visit our festival, you are supporting numerous organizations and groups! We appreciate your help!
