Farm Aid’s annual festival is an all-day celebration of music and family farmers featuring a unique lineup of artists and genres, along with HOMEGROWN food and agricultural experiences. It will take place Saturday, September 26, at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

“Family farmers grow our food and strengthen our communities. And when farmers struggle like they are now, communities feel it too. But we have fewer family farmers on the land now than when we started Farm Aid, and the threats they face put all of us at risk. We’re bringing Farm Aid to Virginia to stand with the farmers and fishers who feed Hampton Roads and beyond—and to grow a food system that works for everyone.”

— Willie Nelson
