Sol Fest: A Sustainable Celebration

Spontaneous Celebrations, a non-profit arts organization in Jamaica Plain, is hosting a fundraiser on Friday, August 11th to raise money for solar panels for their community arts center. The event, called Sol Fest, will feature live music, a farm-to-table BBQ, and a cash bar.

The event will kick off at 6pm with a performance by Erin Harpe’s Country Blues Duo(Erin Harpe and Jim Countryman). Harpe is an award-winning singer-songwriter who is known for her passionate vocals and her soulful blend of country, blues, and folk music.

At 8pm, Zoë Knight & Mythical Beasts will take the stage. Knight is a local singer-songwriter who is known for her powerful voice and her original deep & funky rock & soul music. She will be joined by her band, Mythical Beasts, for a high-energy performance that is sure to get the crowd dancing.

In addition to the music, there will be a farm-to-table BBQ with food provided by local vendors. There will also be a cash bar and ice cream from JP Licks.

All proceeds from Sol Fest will go toward the purchase of solar panels for Spontaneous Celebrations’ community arts center. The center is committed to sustainability, and solar panels will help them reduce their carbon footprint and save money on energy costs.

Sol Fest is a great opportunity to support a local non-profit arts organization and to enjoy a fun-filled evening of music, food, and community. Tickets are $15 for kids, $25 for students, and $35 for adults. They can be purchased online at www.spontaneouscelebrations.org.
