Before you head out to the stadium, be sure to take a look at the venue policies on our information page.
Doors open at noon and the show will run until 11pm. Please come for the whole day — you won’t want to miss any of the generous artists who have donated all the expenses for their travel and performances, and to see the unique on-stage collaborations that happen so often between artists at Farm Aid.
You’ll also want to set aside time to explore the HOMEGROWN Village, which is open from noon until 5:30pm, to experience hands-on, interactive exhibits from a variety of food and farming groups to learn more about farmers and where your food comes from. Stop by the HOMEGROWN Skills Tent to learn skills like how to pickle any vegetable in 10 minutes, how to raise chickens in the backyard, and much more.
