The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada expects to receive $250,000 for hosting a festival that will culminate with a solar eclipse this Sunday.

The tribe awarded a one-year permit to the organizers of the Symbiosis Gathering, a six-day festival of music, workshops and performances. The tribe will get a percentage per person, a vehicle fee and fee for special services, The Reno Gazette-Journal reported.

“It should be a real good test run to see how events can run out there,” Scott H. Carey, thet tribe's planner, told the paper. “We hope that this one is a success and that it can put the lake on the map as an events venue.”
