If you’re coming from out of town for DromFest, here’s why we hope you’ll buy a VIP pass.
The picturesque Hudson Valley is the kind of place where you’ll never run out of things to do outdoors, and its arts and music communities are filled with talented, creative people who make beautiful things. It’s amazing, peaceful place to visit and spend the weekend.
It is a privilege to host an event like DromFest in a place that’s so beautiful, and to have so many excellent friends helping us make it happen.
But when the festival is over and everyone goes home with a weekend of memories, there are some realities that we live with here, and one of them is the issue of food insecurity. In the Mid-Hudson Valley, about 8% of households are food insecure, and in Greene County, where DromFest is being held, the number is double that, according to the state Department of Health. It’s a crisis, and it’s not always visible to out-of-town folks enjoying the stunning scenery and wonderful food, wine, beer, art and music.
The DromFest lineup is pretty special. It’s a great opportunity to see some amazing bands in an intimate space for a very affordable price. We are thrilled to share such a great lineup – in such a beautiful setting – with our out-of-town friends who are planning to spend a weekend.
But we’re also hoping that our out-of-town friends will give a little back by purchasing a VIP pass. The difference is just $20 per ticket, you’ll get a free Dromedary CD sampler and a Sleepyhead 7″, and for every VIP pass sold, we will make a $10 donation to the Community Action of Greene County Food Pantry.
