Das Fest profits go to multiple charities who bring a group of 4+ volunteers. The donation amount depends on the total number of nonprofits, the number of hours they each work, and of course things like Mother Nature. But it's always FUN and brings a wonderful family-friendly event to the community. As examples, the Lake Geneva Lions Club always staff the bars on Saturday night, and the Westosha Central Cheer team runs the parking.


Nonprofits are welcome to hand out membership info during their volunteer shifts. And Das Fest promotes the nonprofit organizations on signs, the official website and social media pages.


Nonprofit organizations can also staff a booth at Das Fest for FREE! Check out the Vendor application found on this page.
