Paperfest – It’s All About Community!
Paperfest is a free, four-day community festival packed with live music, family fun, great food, and nonstop activity. The event is 100% volunteer-run, and proceeds support local nonprofit organizations that help make the festival possible.
In 2025 alone, over $130,900 was donated to 58 nonprofit organizations. Since its inception, Paperfest has contributed more than $1.49 million back into the community.
As part of the nationwide America250 celebration, Paperfest 2026 will also recognize and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary throughout the weekend.
