The fun kicks off with our fabulous Online Silent Auction beginning Thursday, October 6th and culminates on Sunday, October 16th with the Live Auction and Gala!
Socialize with the Moisture Festival family of supporters as you raise your paddle and help us raise critical funds for the 2023 Festival.
The evening begins with a cocktail hour from 5-6 PM. Immediately following, enjoy a delicious catered meal, while our emcees Kevin Joyce and Martha Enson from EnJoy Productions dazzle you with our Live Auction and Gala Varieté show.
Enjoy performances by Cate Great!, Charly Castors, Godfrey Daniels, Henrik Bothe, Jessica Perry, and Kari Jay Hunter!
This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year with a goal of raising at least $75,000. We need your help more than ever to help us reach our goal. As you might know, we lost our home at Hale's Palladium after the close of the 2022 Festival. Storage costs, increased venue rental expenses, additional marketing needs and many more expenses are piling up. Funds raised through the Fall Auction will allow us to once again bring the 2023 Festival with world class variety talent to Seattle. Your support propels our nonprofit mission to present an affordable annual festival showcasing the art of live comedy/varieté performance, to educate people about the rich history of this genre, and to delight audiences of all ages.
