Nothing! At RMI, we believe that there should not be economic barriers to experiencing culture. There is also no charge for parking or for the parking shuttle. 

We apply for sponsorships and grants, receive donations from people in the community, and host fundraising events. Without our partnership with the City of Ridgefield, it would be very difficult to afford to keep the event free. We are grateful to them and all of our supporters. 

Spaces are limited, and we are typically full by June. Vendors doing cultural work are prioritized. Look for sign-ups early in 2027 on the City of Ridgefield's First Saturday vendor site.
