Comment: In its second year, this charity festival (it benefits migrant workers) has an appealing set of headliners and a strong bench of notables. HOH drew well in its first outing; expect a blowout when the Spring Break crowd hits the mid-Florida coast.

Consequence of Sound

The respective worlds of festivals and non-profits have more in common than you probably thought. Sleepless nights, endless phone calls, and that look from your wealthier friends and family that you’re wasting your time. In the end however, when it all works out, the reward always seems to be well worth the sweat, tears, and blood that the whole shebang brings. Even more so, when they combine forces, something surprising happens. They morph into a tour-de-force of part fundraiser and part three day party; in this case, with a punked out Lollapalooza of a lineup. That was the Harvest of Hope Festival’s first year last March in St. Augustine, Florida, and the organizers have no intention of slowing things down.
