Since 1947, dedicated volunteers have organized the Annual Catonsville Celebration and have raised the funds without assistance from county or government agencies. All funds received are from YOU, the citizens of Catonsville, Arbutus, Woodlawn and surrounding areas. Every year, the volunteers have raised the necessary funds ($100,000 in 2012) to produce first-rate parade and fireworks celebrations, but we need your continued support.
Why does it cost so much? The fireworks and associated expenses are $30,000. Few people know that every marching band charges to be in the parade, and our budget for bands is $30,000. The remaining $40,000 is used for other expenses, such as insurance, security, programs, spot-a-pots, signage, administrative costs and more.
