Midsumma

Midsumma is a Not For Profit organization that produces an annual 3 week festival showcasing and supporting Queer culture. It's also an event outside of the gay bars and in the public, allowing many people to come out and meet new people. Hosting this event takes 365 days of year-round planning to deliver the festival, costing upwards of $500,000. That's the equivalent of $1370.00 per day. Carnival Day alone costs over $150,000 to produce.

Costs for hosting the Midsumma Festival include:

• . maintaining the office, utilities, insurance and contractors, and
• . providing infrastructure to support & coordinate community-produced Midsumma events, and
• . producing iconic queer community events like Carnival Day.
