Speaking in New York, Rose announced “Twestival Local” which will take place on 
12 September. This will be an opportunity for local groups of Twitter users to create
and host fundraising events in aid of their favorite charities. The Twestival of
February 2009 raised funds for a single nonprofit, charity:water.

 

Registration for Twestival Local will be open from 1 July.

 

Rose also announced that [.imelda on flickr.com](http://twestival.com/>Twestival</a> will return next year on 4 February.</p>

<p>The February 2009 Twestival had a target of $1 million dollars, but still managed to raise over $250,000, which was a remarkable achievement given that it was all run by volunteers and most events were put together in just a few weeks.</p>
