The Harvest of Hope Fest is unlike most festivals. It is a benefit event with all proceeds donated to the Harvest of Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides emergency and educational aid to some of the hardest working and often overlooked people keeping our agricultural economy moving – migrant farm workers. With the charity in mind, artists from over 150 rock, folk, alternative, punk, blues and hip-hop bands perform for free or reduced rates. Select headlining artists have become huge supporters of the Harvest of Hope foundation and will be available for interviews. These artists include: The Mountain Goats, Delta Spirit, Dr. Dog, Kimya Dawson, Anti Flag, Sense Fail & Dead Confederate.

HOH has partnered with Creativeallies.com to give graphic artists a chance to have their artwork featured as an official festival T-shirt and poster design. Artists can upload their artwork at http://beta.creativeallies.com/harvestofhope in order to submit. Winners will be announced in the week leading up to the festival.
