During a decade of impact, we've proudly welcomed over 230,000 patrons, hosted 615 acts from 25 countries, and seen our message resonate globally with 61 million media reach. Beyond the stages, the festival has been instrumental in driving tangible economic change, generating $1,250,000 for the camp, directly supporting over 2,300 refugee entrepreneurs, and creating 1,500 vital job opportunities.
