A $10 suggested donation upon entry benefits the RANCH Triangle Community Conservation Association. The association was founded in 1963 as a nonprofit community organization representing the residents and businesses within the borders of Racine Avenue, Armitage Avenue, North Avenue, the Chicago River, and Halsted Street. The all-volunteer group gives back to schools, parks and works with local aldermen to improve the public infrastructure including streets, sidewalks and lighting. As a non-profit organization and not city funded, donations will help these festivals stay around for all to enjoy.
“We are so excited to be hosting the 4th Annual Lincoln Park Mayfest,” said Erma Tranter, President of RANCH Triangle Community Conservation Association. “Thanks to all fest attendees, the suggested gate donation helps to keep these annual fests going strong for all to enjoy.”
