Festival at Sandpoint Releases 2023 Annual Report
At the end of each fiscal year, the Festival at Sandpoint publishes its Annual Report, highlighting information and updates to the organization and its programs from October of the previous year to September of the current year.
For the third consecutive year, the 2023 Summer Performance Series broke organizational records due in part to capacity increase and three sold-out performances.
With one of the Festival’s best and highest-caliber lineups in the organization's history came record ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations.
Festival at Sandpoint Releases Economic Impact Study
It’s been over ten years since the Festival at Sandpoint has sponsored an economic impact study. Last fall, the University of Idaho assessed the economic contributions of the 2021 - 2022 Festival at Sandpoint (FAS) fiscal year and Summer Concert Series and its impact on Bonner County.
In addition to enhancing the cultural, educational, and recreational environment of Sandpoint, FAS is an important contributor to the regional economy.
The study evaluated the Festival at Sandpoint’s economic impact on two levels: direct and indirect impact. Direct economic impact includes job creation, payroll, gross regional product, and sales that directly result from the Festival.
