Festival organizer Tim Metcalfe said the event will give back to more than 100 area charities this year. The festival generated $105,000 in donations to Brat Fest Charities last year in spite of stormy weather. Nonprofits and school organizations interested in becoming a Brat Fest Charity can apply here through March 15.
The Brat Fest will also host a new marketplace this year with 90 vendor spots in the Alliant Energy Center’s Arena.
