Mates Fest 8

Mates Fest 8!

4 nights (w/ a couple earlier starts) of great, eclectic music from near and far! There will be more than 50 acts, some repeat and some making their Mates Fest (and Peoria) debuts!

The festival will benefit The JOLT Foundation (www.joltfoundation.org), a wonderful, local 501c3 which distributes Naloxone for free, and provides training on how to utilize it. Naloxone helps to block the effects of opioids, especially in the case of overdoses.

Mates Fest is always all ages.

4-day passes available for $30.
