Upcoming Fundraising Events

Moisture Festival Fabulous Fling

Join us at Hale's Palladium on February 10th for a Fabulous Fling you won't soon forget! This unique blend of dance party, varietè performance and auction will inspire appreciation for the things you love. You'll be welcomed by Susan Maclain on her golden harp, come face to face with cupid, be hypnotized by the sensual movements of the one and only Fuchsia Foxx, hear the love songs of Northwestern folk all-stars The Canote Brothers, then swing your partner to the Moisture Festival's Romance Square Dance, led by caller Tony Mates. All the while, you’ll be fed delicious treats from the Hale’s Ales Brewery Pub and Tom Bennett Catering.

The most fun may turn out to be our silent and live auction with festival favorite Kevin Joyce as MC and auctioneer. Our fundraising philosophy is community oriented and this auction gives our patrons and supporters a great chance to support the festival with the opportunity to bid on unique items and unforgettable experiences. We have been pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of creative and valuable auction items, such as:

• A $600 bottle of 2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon with a splendid perfume of violets, wood smoke, truffle, Asian spices, black cherry, and black currant preserves, aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak.
• Two admissions to Teatro Zinzanni, including the critically acclaimed three-and-a-half-hour performance and a five-course gourmet meal.
• Two Gold Passes to Bumbershoot 2012, including admission for all festival days, access to the exclusive and air-conditioned hospitality lounge, a limited-edition poster, six drinks in the beer gardens and special VIP entry/reserved seating at the Mainstage.
• Festival memorabilia from our nearly decade-long history.
• Several sailing getaways on Puget Sound.

You can get preview all of these exciting auction items by opening our catalogue here

We are counting on you to come ready to bid in support of the world's largest and longest comedy/variete festival as we bid you amour!
