Created by Haus of Greta with Kernel Benny's Popcorn Organized by Ignite the Arts Foundation Bring a camp chair if you'd like. There's plenty of room, but not plenty of chairs! 12:00pm

Gate opens and the event is on!

Crowd Collaboration: Kind of like karaoke with Papa Kiszka and the Voortex as the Karaoke machine. Get up on stage to play or sing with the band. Let Papa K know you're interested at the event and he'll get as many up on stage as he can in the given time. This is just as much fun to watch as it is to participate in. Major Chords for Minors ØSLO Rocky LeRoe The Wild Life Therewolf Papa Kiszka and the Voortex Jazz & Blues Band

This year Ignite the Arts Foundation - together with the support of Haus of Greta - is raising funds to create lasting, meaningful change through the arts.

Your donation directly supports:

IC3 and the development of a purpose-designed, residential village for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Scholarships for school children to participate in music and arts programs Accessible creative opportunities that inspire confidence, connection, and self-expression

This campaign is about more than funding programs—it’s about opening doors. Together, we are breaking down barriers, promoting inclusivity, and making the arts accessible to people of all abilities and ages. Every dollar raised helps strengthen this vital community, increase positive awareness, and give individuals the chance to discover joy, belonging, and purpose through creativity.

When you give, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in people, possibility, and the transformative power of the arts. Join us in enriching lives, fostering belonging, and connecting communities—one creative opportunity at a time.
