Festival finances
Total income €13,570.17
Total expenses €6,698.36
*Donations €2,000.00
Reserves available €4,871.81
*Donations were made to Roundwood/Moneystown Parish, Roundwood Parish Hall, Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue and First Responders.
Every effort is made to minimise costs of the festival, however, some significant items of expenditure, for example, insurance (€1,348.90) are unavoidable and difficult to negotiate.
The balance of funds available following the festival will be used to fund local initiatives, for example, upgrading the trails around the Vartry Reservoir and as a reserve to support costs of the 2017 Roundwood Street Festival.
Many thanks to you all for your support in 2016 and we hope you will continue to support the festival in 2017, which will be held between Thursday, 3rd and Sunday, 6th August.
