Farm Aid 40 Watch Parties

Bring the Farm Aid festival home!

Since 1985, the Farm Aid festival has brought hundreds of thousands of people together to stand up and join voices in celebration of family farmers. Artists, farmers and festivalgoers will gather again at Farm Aid 40 on September 20 in Minneapolis for another unforgettable day of good food, incredible music and love for our farmers.

If you can’t make it to Farm Aid 40, we’re bringing the spirit of the Farm Aid festival to you. We’ve created a special Farm Aid 40 Watch Party Kit to give your Farm Aid celebrations that festival feel.
