The Collective Festival Model

GINKGO GALORE™ is built differently. We don't just book acts and open a gate. We invite the entire community to participate as co-creators.

Through our "Dovetail Event Partner" model, nonprofits, businesses, clubs, and organizations are invited to design their own ginkgo-themed events and weave them into the official festival calendar. Each dovetail event is promoted and featured in the festival lineup — at no cost and no sponsorship required to participate.

Each partner produces their event from their own budget, creativity, and volunteer base. It's a meaningful way to expand your organization's reach, connect with new audiences, and contribute to something larger than any single event.

There's no fee to become an Event Partner. Featured events do require an Event Partner Application. Apply and be creative.
