What’s with the state of Florida getting all these really cool music festivals? Why can’t NY get some good non-hipster music festivals? We get Radiohead and Jack Johnson and Florida gets all these cool punk festivals. Not fair!

Harvest of Hope Festival is a three-day, multiple-stage alternative music festival to benefit and raise awareness for Harvest of Hope (www.harvestofhope.net), a non-profit organization that provides financial, educational, and service oriented aid to migrant farm workers all over the country. The event emphasizes the focus on being family friendly as well as environmentally friendly. The festival will showcase not only a large group of musicians who are donating their time and performances to the cause but also a variety of art shows and films from progressive artists from around the country, non-profits, local businesses and progressive organizations. Most importantly, the festival will be focused on raising funds and awareness for the Harvest of Hope Foundation.
