2018 IDAPALOOZA Pre-Registration!!!
!!!!!REGISTRATION LINK BELOW!!!!
Dear Friends,
Spring is here, which means Idapalooza is just around the corner!! This year’s fest will take place from May 30th- June 4th 2018.
People contribute to Idapalooza in many ways, and this event could not happen or grow without the help of hundreds of volunteers, organizers, and activist. We are excited about everyone who has emailed us to volunteer, and are always excited to initiate new people into organizing positions. This year we are also encouraging people who are planning to attend and donate financially to pre-register to help us to with the hefty set up costs.
Idapalooza relies on financial contributions from many visitors. The money that Idapalooza raises goes toward providing food for the event (around $8,000), paying bands and travel expenses for key organizers (around $7,000), building up infrastructure to facilitate hosting guests year round, and contributing toward the $13,000 yearly land payment, the majority of which comes from Idapalooza donations etc, etc. We look forward to being able to throw the best Idapalooza we can, but in order to do that, we need your help-- please pre-register and consider making a payment online or sending a check or money order in the mail.
Idapalooza organizers and residents want to prioritize keeping the festival open to attendees who will not be contributing financially. For this reason, we maintain a policy that no one is turned away for lack of funds. This payment policy is also intended to reflect the reality that transmisogyny, racism, white supremacy, ableism, immigration status, and other ongoing societal forces all affect queer people's ability to come to Idapalooza. We also recognize the valuable labor that so many people contribute (emotional, physical, political, and otherwise.) and would rather you be here, than stay home!! If you are able to chip in a little extra to offset those who can’t, that helps to make all of this financially feasible!!
We encourage you to give a $100-$200 donation + $25-$50 for each day you will be at Idapalooza.
