All of the Do Good Fest organizers knew that Michael Franti & Spearhead would be a good draw in 2019. But 10,000-plus? Wow. What a show.

Do Good Fest has proven to be an inspiration in the community, something that really took off with our 2018 event. Not only did we raise more than $36,000 for Branches of Hope that year, we also inspired cosponsors and others to make donations to the cancer patient fund.

In the fourth annual edition in 2017, we were able to showcase New England talent throughout the show, from the local performers to the national headliner.

So, who was your favorite from Do Good Fest 2016: Big Head Todd and the Monsters? Or Brett Dennen?

By the time our second year rolled around, people had taken notice and we more than doubled our attendance to 3,000 people dancing on the hill to the music of O.A.R. and three other bands.

Even though it’s not safe to invite 10,000 people onto our back lawn, our commitment to Branches of Hope remains strong.

We’re sorry to announce that this year’s Do Good Fest has been canceled because of the challenges and uncertainties about COVID-19.

Take a moment to support Branches of Hope, a fund that helps cancer patients at Central Vermont Medical Center pay a bill or meet an expense while they focus on recovering their health.

This year’s Do Good Fest broke attendance and fundraising records, with 10,000 people on our lawn and $50,000 raised for Branches of Hope, the cancer patient fund at Central Vermont Medical Center!

The weather is looking mighty fine for Saturday’s sixth annual Do Good Fest and we’re expecting a crowd! So, we thought it might be worth a couple of tips in advance.
