JoB according to a story on Evening Magazine last night, they are indeed in trouble financially.
They were thinking if they could run it on Friday as well, and make it a three day event, that extra day would be in enough donations to offset the deficit. They were unable to convince the City to grant the extra day this year, so are hoping for them to grant it next year, so that they can continue the Fest.
I don’t remember the exact numbers, but (I guess going by last year’s donations), it averaged out to literally just a few dollars per person that attended.
