DooBeeDoo Endorses: the 9th NY Gypsy Festival’s Fundraising campaign!

Dear Friends & Supporters!

We are only a few days away form this year’s Gypsy Festival and turn to you today to consider donating to the ninth edition of the NY Gypsy Festival. Over the years NYGF has continued to grow as a grassroots festival supported purely by ticket purchases and without receiving any major sponsorship. For this year’s festival we have created an Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign to supplement the ticket purchases so we can continue bringing you top notch performances with bands from different genres and corners of the world. Perks include festival passes, music from participating artists, t-shirts and special VIP packages. It is our intention to continue our labor of love and offer you the culture of a people and hope that you welcome them, as we do, with open arms. Thanks for your support in advance.
