Donate and Support The Spring Festival
The Lakeshore Avenue Business Association is setting a goal to raise at least $5,000 from the community at large to launch an amazing, FREE, family-friendly festival worthy of the name Lakeshore. Your donations can help show off this beautiful neighborhood in all its glory, and bring out thousands of people to join the festivities on May 30th and many future events.
The BID is asking area residents and friends of the community to donate any amount to bring the festival to life. Whether you can give $5, $50, $500, or $5,000, whatever is a comfortable contribution makes a difference and will help bring the community together. Your support can help welcome the world to this all inclusive festival by the Lake, hosted by the iconic Lakeshore District.
