Characters from the award-winning live action television series and live stage show will perform on the main stage both days. There will also be performances from the stars of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, Recess Monkey, and Josh and the Jamtones at the festival. To make it easier for families to enjoy these top acts in kids’ entertainment, GoGo squeeZ, the leading 100 percent fruit, all-natural applesauce on the go, is providing a limited quantity of free kids’ tickets with the purchase of an adult ticket.
The Life is good Festival is a two-day celebration of music and optimism featuring activities for all ages and three stages of nationally known musical talent. The full artist lineup will be announced on June 17. One hundred percent of funds raised and all of Life is good’s net profits from the festival, including festival merchandise, will be donated to the Life is good Kids Foundation.
“As a company with a positive purpose, we’re making it easy for families to do what they love while supporting a great cause,” said Bert Jacobs, chief executive optimist for Life is good. “What makes this festival unique is the community of fundraisers who come together to help kids in need.”
Individuals who purchase tickets are directed to a personal fundraising page, where they are encouraged to raise funds to support the Life is good Kids Foundation. Festival goers who raise $500 or more will be rewarded with exclusive backstage hospitality, preferred concert viewing, artist meet and greets and other perks.
More than 30,000 fundraisers are expected to come together over the weekend with the goal of raising over $1 million for the Life is good Kids Foundation. The foundation directly funds the Life is good Playmakers program, which provides training and support to childcare professionals who use these tools to ensure that children grow up feeling safe, loved and joyful.
