Donating here is a donation to the BRIDGEWATER ARTS & MUSIC FESTIVAL held on July 4th (NOT the fireworks or parade). We use donations in an attempt to keep event prices lower with a goal of making events free to all. We have not been able to do that, as our funding is meager and we usually barely cover our costs. We are a Section 501(c)(3) organization, so donations to our festival are tax deductible. All donors receive a letter proving their donations for tax purposes.
