VENICE, FL
GIVING BACK
THROUGH MUSIC.
LocalsFest was created to celebrate the music, artists, businesses, and people that make our local community special, but our purpose goes beyond the festival itself.
A big part of LocalsFest is giving back to the music community that helped shape so many of us. Monies raised through the festival will be used to fund the LocalsFest Music Grant, in cooperation with Venice Musicale, for creating opportunities and expanding access to music within our local community.
The LocalsFest Music Grant takes a needs based approach to supporting young musicians ages 9 to 25. Our goal is to help remove some of the financial barriers that may prevent someone from pursuing music, developing their talents, or taking the next step in their musical journey.
By working with Venice Musicale, we can combine the support and reach of LocalsFest with an organization that has a long history of supporting music and music education right here in our community.
Our goal is simple: use local music to support local music.
Every ticket purchased, sponsor that gets involved, vendor that participates, and person who supports LocalsFest helps us build something bigger than a one day festival. Together, we can celebrate the musicians who make our community what it is today while creating more opportunities for the next generation of local musicians.
