About this project
FROLIC's organizers are an urban grass roots consortium dedicated to promoting publicly-performed electronic music as an art form. The non-profit organization's mission is to create spaces for electronic music fans to enjoy dancing in the daylight. They believe electronic music is the music that speaks in the frequency of our soul and seek to use this music as a medium to enrich the lives of New York City's children by raising money for Arts and Music education.
How we began
In 2002, Festivus, a volunteer run community-based event began whose purpose is to bring people of all ages together to experience electronic music in a positive, open air setting. The leave-no-trace event is funded through donations and volunteer support, with proceeds donated to help NYC children's Art and Music educational programs. With each successful year Festivus grew in popularity moving from Battery Park City to Central Park. Festivus has been donating proceeds from the event to NYC children's Art and Music educational programs since 2008.
Where we are headed
In 2010 Festivus underwent a metamorphosis. While the Festivus concept of a 'holiday for the rest of us' (named after a non-denominational holiday on TV's Seinfeld) worked for the event in its early stages, the festival's amazing popularity and growth over the last decade have warranted a new name that better reflects FROLIC's unique essence of playful musical celebration for everyone. We are very excited to celebrate the anniversary of our tenth event,
and we plan on making it one of our most memorable yet. But this is not
just a celebration of a milestone, this is a celebration of everyone
who has supportedour event in the past. We wouldn’t be here without
them and the continued support of the community.
How you can help
FROLIC's operational expenses exceed $5000 every year and we need your help to cover these costs. By making a donation through Kickstarter you are ensuring that this year's FROLIC is able to happen.
