We make sure to reach out to the local venders first before we have to venture out possibly not local and we do that with our other events as well,” Cavender said.Cavender also highlighted the purpose behind this festival, saying, ” The purpose of this fundraiser is to draw really positive attention to our urban business district and to create that sort of residual effect to remind people to come back and shop and eat in these districts.”VIP tickets are limited to the first 600 people.
