Despite back-to-back hurricanes, the show will go on in Southwest Florida, as the Harvest Nights Charity Music Festival is now set for January 10-12, 2025. The festival, originally planned for November, was rescheduled due to the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The event will take place at the Seminole Rodeo Grounds in Immokalee, Florida, bringing together some of music’s biggest names to support disaster relief efforts.
A Star-Studded Lineup
Headlining the three-day festival are rock legends Def Leppard, fresh off their sold-out stadium tour, alongside country superstar Brad Paisley and the Grammy-winning band Train. These renowned acts will be part of a fourteen-band lineup that promises to deliver a weekend of unforgettable performances.
Supporting a Community in Need
The decision to postpone the festival was made out of concern for the local community, which has faced significant challenges in the wake of the recent hurricanes. Megan Maloney, co-founder and President of the Charity Pros, emphasized the importance of helping those affected: “Many in our community and nearby coastal regions have been severely impacted, including some of our own board members and volunteers. It’s time for us to support our SWFL neighbors with the resources they need.”
A Diverse Music Experience
Festival-goers can look forward to a variety of performances, featuring artists like Tyler Hubbard from Florida Georgia Line, former Eagles member Don Felder, and multi-platinum rock band Tesla. Country music stars Terri Clark and Alana Springsteen will also take the stage, alongside emerging talents like American Idol finalists Will Moseley, Jack Blocker, and Casey Bishop with Rock Republic. Local favorites, the Ben Allen Band and Maiden Cane, will complete the lineup, ensuring a weekend full of musical diversity.
Giving Back to the Community
Proceeds from the festival will go toward local disaster relief efforts and benefit several charitable organizations, including the Immokalee Foundation, the Cancer Alliance Network of SWFL, and the Guadalupe Center. Ticket sales will be donation-based and are available now. Options include VIP Packages, Reserved Seating, Bleachers, and General Admission Lawn passes.
More Than Just Music
Beyond the main stage, the Harvest Nights Music Festival will feature a bustling Festival Village, with live entertainment, arts and crafts, local business exhibits, and a wide variety of food trucks. The festival grounds will also offer on-site camping accommodations for RVs, trailers, and campers, creating a comprehensive festival experience for attendees.
