Its goal is to provide independent organizers with a platform for cross-promotional exposure built on the attention surrounding the festival itself. It is our way of shining a light on those that make the city what it is and reaching out to their respective audiences in an effort to unify the city behind the idea and experience of the Manifesto Festival of Community & Culture. Come support the people and organizations that bring this city to life!
