Our Mission

board 2009

Many people know that Warrens Cranberry Festival is the world's largest festival. What many don't know is that the festival is a nonprofit organization that solely benefits the community of Warrens. Our mission is to "promote the common good and general welfare of the community of Warrens, including holding an annual festival and raising funds to be used exclusively for civic betterments and social improvements in the Warrens community."

Warrens Cranberry Festival has given over $2 million in donations during its 38 years of existence. These donations have benefited several community organizations, including area schools, the local fire department and the Lions Club. The festival also has its own scholarship fund for college freshmen.

To receive donations, each group must fill out a donation request form that goes through our board of directors as well as our membership. If your group or organization is in need, fill out a donation request form and return it to the festival office.

In addition to benefiting the community of Warrens, Cranfest also benefits the Monroe County area as a whole. During festival each year, area hotels, campgrounds, restaurants and gas stations are filled with thousands of customers. All told, this economic boost totals over $3 million in revenue to the county each year.

If you would like to help Warrens Cranberry Festival achieve its mission, think about volunteering your time to the festival, or even sponsor one of our events. Donations to the festival are also accepted. See our "Get Involved" page for more information.
