The local organization A Hand Up Erie joined Saturday's celebration to raise money to give back to the community.
Saturday's visitors from all across the U.S gathered for the Bill 'N Bob Festival.
Theresa Anderson a volunteer from the local non-profit organization explains how the funds from the festival benefit the community.
Theresa Anderson said "We deliver beds, we actually do this fundraiser so we can buy brand new beds for them. It's shocking how many children in erie do not have beds to sleep in."
Over the last 12 years the Bill N' Bob festival has raised over 160,000 dollars.
Jared Marzka shares "Seeing everybody, talking to everybody, they always put on a phenomenal show. The raffles are nice too because there's that grantee you might leave here with something but more than anything I really just enjoy supporting the program and I know everyone here is somehow connected to it."
