Support Our Community Festival

The Tiptree Christmas Street Festival operates 100% on community support. We rely entirely on fundraising events, grants, generous donations, and stallholder/vendor fees to bring this magical celebration to life each year.

Every contribution helps us cover essential costs including stage management, lighting, street closures, insurance, and all the logistics that make this festival possible for our community to enjoy free of charge.

Throughout the year, we organize fundraising activities including car boot sales in the summer and we're planning an exciting carnival in 2026 to help support the festival and bring our community together!

Want to donate, sponsor the event, or help us make the festival even better? We'd love to hear from you!
