Loving yourself is about finding peace within and looking inward for answers. Self respect is the foremost quality one should have when trying to determine their path in life. One should be comfortable looking at themselves in the mirror. If you cannot, how do you expect others to perceive you? Our vendors will help individuals heal and reconcile with themselves. They will offer guidance and tools for self-improvement. This is not about religion but rather spirituality that encompasses all religions and beliefs. Loving others is about building a sense of community through lending a helping hand to those in need. Due to the economic crisis facing all people everywhere, there is a dire need to help those that are hurting. LoveFest will reach out to those communities which are hurting the most. Areas where unemployment, homelessness and even tragedy occur (ie. Hurricane, floods etc) will be targeted as a LoveFest destination. This is why proceeds from ticket sales will go to the local food banks, homeless shelters, etc. Loving the planet is about “living green”. Our green vendors will allow people to learn about how they can live a greener more sustainable life. They will offer educational materials, products and solutions for turning communities into a more earth-friendly environment. Sponsors will be allowed to show how they are doing their part. Communities will be shown green options for rebuilding and revitalizing their economies. Ideally, the LoveFest tour would eventually be solely produced and transported via alternative fuel options. EDUCATION THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT Bringing differing people with different tastes, beliefs and needs together to help heal and grow through a multi-genre music fest. To help suffering communities look inward for solutions and outward for assistance. To help individuals thrive and develop themselves into contributing, loving members of society. Sounds lofty, huh? We must start somewhere. If we don’t, who will? CORPORATE IDENTITY What is your corporate identity? Public perception is not good for larger corporations, thanks in part to all the media focus on corporate greed and CEO luxurious lifestyles. Now is the time for corporations that wish to break away from the “Wall Street” perception and stand up for the people. Lovefest allows your corporation to brand yourselves in such a manner. This is not sponsorship that allows a company to take over a venue name. This is sponsorship that actually allows you to give back to the individuals and communities hurting the most. The varying sponsorship levels allow local, smaller corporate sponsors to participate. However, for the big corporations that want to make a difference in this world, this is your chance. Won’t you give love a chance? Production Jeff “Classic” Popka is the Executive Producer and the brain child of LoveFest. Jeff is currently the EP/Host of “Indie on Air”.
