The eighth installment of Uplift Music Festival will be held July 27 at a new location, Marty’s Driving Range in Mason.
The festival has gone through some changes this year but their mission to help local charities remains the same.
Uplift has called upon several popular national acts for this year’s event such as Rolling Stone magazine’s top 100 guitarist Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Boston native Ryan Montbleau Band, jam grass legends Donna the Buffalo and soul songstress Hayley Jane.
Being driven by a strong sense of community, Uplift will also be presenting great local talent from which this event was built on. Local bands include Adam & The Flood, Party of the Sun, Varsity Material and Senie Hunt.
Uplift Music Festival has teamed up with “End 68 Hours of Hunger” to be the beneficiaries of this year’s festival. End 68 Hours of Hunger mission is to confront the approximately 68 hours of hunger that some local school children experience between the free lunch they receive in school on Friday afternoon, and the free breakfast they receive in school on Monday morning.
Uplift is also giving a portion of proceeds to the Mason school club which helps provide snacks, playground equipment, busses for field trips, Halloween events and much more for the Mason elementary school children.
Along with the music, Uplift will have family entertainment including bouncy houses, yoga, games and art installments.
Tickets for the event are $40 each if you purchase a four pack, $45 for the individual and kids 12 & under are free. Tickets are available at Harlow’s Pub in Peterborough and at www.upliftmusicfest.org.
