Benefiting Organizations

This year we will welcome more than 3,200 volunteers from the community to donate 16,495 hours of their time to grill and serve food, to facilitate recycling and composting, and to keep the grounds clean and safe for all attendees. In return they will earn $12 per hour, which will be donated back to their charity of choice at the end of the event. Over 100 local charities rely on Brat Fest donations to help keep their programs running.
Deadline for Brat Fest charity application was March 15th.
