Crowdfunding isn’t just for money: help build the Hidden City Festival from the ground up by donating your time, chairs, water coolers and more. (Cash is welcome, too, of course.)

The month-long celebration of Philadelphia’s history, public spaces and local art is using the notion of crowdfunding to get people involved.

See how you can help here.

The festival goes from May 23 – June 30. You can get tickets here.

To be clear, it’s not exactly a novel concept to solicit help from event goers, but there’s something about using the imagery of crowdfunding (that bar that shows how much money has been raised) that makes it easy to understand how much help is needed and how you can contribute. It practically invites you to help out.
