\n\u201cFayetteville is home and I am blessed to have so many amazing neighbors,\u201d Executive Director Kaylynn Suarez said in the release. \u201cWe cannot wait to celebrate our love and pride for the 2-6 with our community.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nonprofit status<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\nIn addition to the entertainment, organizers announced that the Fayetteville Dogwood Festival has transitioned from a 501c4 organization to a 501c3 nonprofit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nIts nonprofit status allows donations to the festival to be tax-deductible, and it offers more grant and funding opportunities, the release said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis transition reflects our continued commitment to transparency, growth, and serving Fayetteville in a deeper, more meaningful way,\u201d Suarez said in the release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nWhat to expect at this year’s spring festival<\/h2>\n
In addition to the musical acts, the festival will feature the Kid Zone, hosted in partnership with United Way of Cumberland County and Fascinate-U Children’s Museum, which includes interactive, educational and engaging experiences for children and families.\u00a0<\/p>\n\nThe festival will collaborate with Sustainable Sandhills, which is set to host its Earth Day Festival within the Dogwood Festival footprint.<\/p>\n
The Dogwood Festival kicks off Friday night, April 24, and features a midway in full swing with food, drinks and other vendors. The Ying Yang Twins take the Festival Park stage as the Friday headliners.<\/p>\n
Saved by the 90s is the headliner on Saturday, April 25, the first full day of the festival. Visitors can also expect family-friendly programming, vendors and other festival attractions, including a car show.<\/p>\n\nThe festival wraps up Sunday, April 25, with a final day of midway rides, food trucks, vendors, free classes, live local music and a wrestling showcase.<\/p>\n
“With three days of music, memories, collaboration, and hometown pride, the Fayetteville Dogwood Festival remains free to attend and open to everyone,” the release said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
