The
2nd Annual Harvest of Hope Fest Returns for Spring Break 2010
March
12th-14th Alternative Music Fest To Benefit Migrant Farmworkers
This Thanksgiving, support the
hands that harvested the food on your table by purchasing a ticket to the Harvest
of Hope Fest in sunny St. Augustine,
Florida.The Harvest of Hope Fest
is a three-day, multiple stage music festival that raises awareness and
provides financial and educational aid to migrant farmworkers all over the
country. For a limited time, discounted three-day tickets for the festival are
available at the incredibly low price of $29.50.
HOH Fest is the first multi-day
concert of 2010 festival season and uniquely different then the copycat lineups
you see at other events. Last year over 17,000 attendees rocked out to over one
hundred punk, indie, hip-hop, and alternative rock bands. Audiences were
treated to AgainstMe!, BlackKids, GirlTalk, LessThanJake, TheNational, GZA, TokyoPoliceClub, Propagandhi, Ra Ra
Riot, KRS-One, Kool Keith, and many others. This year’s line up, which will be announced in
early December, promises to be even better!
Right in time for spring break,
the 2010 Harvest of Hope Festival is scheduled for March 12th – 14th. It is conveniently located on the St. Johns County
Fairgrounds and offers 90 acres of grassy pasture and trees for limited
primitive camping. The festival is an ideal destination for spring breakers,
snowbirds, and sun lovers. The Harvest of Hope Fest is located a short distance
from historic St. Augustine and the beach and within an easy drive of Daytona,
Jacksonville, Orlando, and Gainesville.
Discounted three-day tickets
are on sale starting November 23rd for the low price of $29.50 until the
festival line up is announced. Proceeds from the charity fundraiser festival
will benefit Harvest of Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides emergency and educational
aid to some of the hardest working and often overlooked people keeping our agricultural
economy moving - migrant farmworkers. Harvest of Hope distributes funds to
migrant farmworkers and their families to help pay for food, medical services,
clothing, rent, educational scholarships, and more. It is an honor to have such
a large group of musicians donating their time and performances to the cause.
