Earthbound's Earthfest 2016

Saturday, April 22, 2:00 pm to sundown, Earthbound headlines Earthbound’s Earthfest, their annual outdoor concert enjoyed by thousands.

The purpose of Earthbound’s Earthfest is to celebrate Earth Day and promote Black Warrior Riverkeeper, a nonprofit clean water advocacy organization protecting the Black Warrior River basin.  That watershed includes parts of 17 Alabama counties and provides approximately half of Birmingham’s drinking water plus all of the water for Tuscaloosa and many other cities.

The family friendly concert is open to pets and humans of all ages, although guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.  Suggested $5 donations at the door – as well as proceeds from merchandise, art, beer, Red Mountain Crawfish and Smokey Sam’s BBQ – will support Black Warrior Riverkeeper.  The event’s top sponsors are Skates 280 and Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, followed by MacLellan, Inc., their award winning water treatment partner.

Earthbound’s Earthfest is always great for anyone who loves live music, craft beer, great food, local artists, outdoor fellowship, or clean water,” said Charles Scribner, Executive Director of Black Warrior Riverkeeper. “Better yet, this year it takes place on Earth Day!”
