💲 Cost & Community Support
Admission is just $5 per person and kids under 5 get in free. It’s a small price for a big day of entertainment, food, and community connection.
But this festival goes beyond just fun—it’s also about giving back. All attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable canned or boxed food item to help support the Saint Joe’s food pantry. It’s a simple gesture that can make a real difference for local families in need.
