Welcome to Matthews Alive! Online. The Matthews Alive! Festival is proud to donate all of the festival proceeds to local non-profit organizations as a means for supporting their continuing efforts in our community. Volunteers from the organizations work at the festival in exchange for the donation allowing for strong community involvement. Without these organizations, the festival would not exist.
