Last week, Mattawa council approved a budget of $460,000 for the festival.
That’s down $40,000 from last year.
A report to council says while expenses were underbudget, revenues were much lower than expected.
Officials say this year’s ticket sales are budgeted at 2,500 to reflect attendance numbers from the last two years, resulting in the reduced budget.
