We Need Your Business to Join the Fun in 2014!

The 2014 festival is coming, March 20th to April 13th, and we're lining up business sponsorships to help make the 11th festival a great beginning to a new decade of comedy/varieté and burlesque magic.  

This season we are happy to announce a new partnership with The Stranger, Seattle's #1 weekly newspaper.  This partnership will mean greater exposure for the Moisture Festival and its sponsors. In addition to the great benefits our sponsors have always enjoyed, we will print the festival program, featuring announcements from our sponsors, as a center spread in the March 12th issue of The Stranger, circulated to more than 75,000 readers.  Sponsors who offer support of $2000 or more will also have announcements viewed by tens of thousands on thestranger.com.  All of this on top of getting your business out in front of more than 13,000 patrons who attend the festival each year and receiving plenty of festival tickets for you, your employees and your customers!

Moisture Festival Benefit Show for the Experimental Education Unit

November 17th, Moisture Festival hosted a special benefit show for the kids and families of the Experimental Education Unit (EEU).  "The goal of the classroom programs at the Experimental Education Unit is to provide a positive educational experience to children with diverse abilities in a setting that enhances the strengths and supports the needs of all the children in our program."

Moisture Festival created a unique matinee variete show for the families of EEU students while James Schmidt of Pecado Bueno provided underwriting support and a scrumptious taco bar that made kids of all ages happy.

All admissions proceeds from the event benefited the EEU. Through ticket sales and donations, this special event raised over $2400 for the EEU.

A huge shout-out and thank you to James and Pecado Bueno for underwriting this fantastic event, and a very happy holiday to our friends at the EEU and all the kids and families they help.
