About us
The Marshland Festival Association is a non-profit corporation
and meets the Federal Regulations of Section 501 (c)3 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986.
The Marshland Festival Association was formed to provide a method for
local youth organizations in the Hackberry community to safely raise
money for their non-profit organizations without having to go
door to door.
During the first several years, in order to help the festival grow,
several other local non-profit organizations where also permitted to
join the Festival, however the main function of the Festival is directed
toward youth organizations.
Other key objectives of our Festival are to:
-
Continue our Louisiana
Heritage of Cajun Music and Cuisine.
-
Help promote the Tourist
Industry of Southwest Louisiana.
-
Support the surrounding
business community through the goods and materials required to produce
the festival.
The organizations that help sponsor and benefit from the
Marshland Festival are:
Hackberry Athletics Organization
Hackberry Youth Organization
Hackberry FFA & Rodeo
Youth Rodeo Club
Hackberry FBLA
High School Dance
High School Cheerleaders
St. Peters Catholic Church
Catholic Youth Group
Catholic Daughters
Knights of Columbus
As a non-profit corporation, the Marshland Festival Association
pay's for the arena, entertainment, insurance, security, and other required
expenses to produce the Festival. Each independent non-profit organization
can then sell their wares to the festival goers as a means to support
their annual activities.
The Life of the Marshland Festival, is the Southwest Louisiana Business
Community Sponsors who's generosity provide the much needed donations
to make the Festival a success.
As the Marshland Festival is a non-profit event, only exhibitors, venders,
or entertainment that will not reduce the opportunity for the non-profit
groups to succeed, or can aid in expanding the Festival to meet its intended
objectives are permitted to participate.
The Marshland Festival Association Corporation must meet and agree upon
any non-profit or for profit organization which wishes to participate
in the festival. The integrity and non-profit status of the Marshland
Festival must be maintained in order to continue it's exempt status.
Regretfully the Marshland Festival sincerely requests that candidates
for Elective Office not promote themselves at the Festival, which could
jeopardize the Festivals non-profit exempt status.
