On October 1st, 2017 the lives of many people changed forever. Country fans from near and far gathered in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival for what was supposed to be an evening filled with singing, laughter and a stompin’ good time. Little did the concert-goers know that lurking in the shadows was a gunman hellbent of causing the worse massacre in modern history.
Lucknow’s Music in the Fields closes out the Summer
We wrapped up our summer festival season this past weekend with Lucknow’s Music in the Fields takeover of Graceland in Lucknow Ontario. There is no denying that this home grown festival deserves some serious recognition for not only bringing stellar lineups year after year but also for their involvement in the beautiful community of Lucknow. The Lucknow Kinsmen are a non-profit community organization and all money raised by initiatives like Lucknow’s Music in the Fields goes right back into their community to support charities, hospitals, schools and other various community projects. Over the past 9 years the Lucknow Kinsmen have been able to donate over 1 million dollars back into their community. A small town festival with HUGE heart if you ask us!
