Farm Aid to Return Live in September With Willie Nelson & More: ‘We Need Each Other’ Billboard 15 hrs ago Willie Nelson Willie Nelson’s Farm Aid festival, which was livestreamed during the pandemic, will return live onstage at the Xfinity Theatre in Hartford, Conn., on Sept. 25, the organization announced Tuesday (July 20). Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday. “The experience of the past 18 months has reminded us how much we need each other,” Nelson says in a statement. “I’m so glad that music is bringing us all back together at Farm Aid 2021 to celebrate family farmers. When we combine music, family farmers and good food, we have the power to grow the kind of agriculture that strengthens all of us.”
Farm Aid’s mission is to build a strong, family-farm-centered system of agriculture in America. Since 1985, with the support of artists who contribute their performances, the organization has raised more than $60 million to support programs that help family farmers thrive and expand the markets for their food. “Live performances by artists who are passionate about agriculture and good food are the deep roots that sustain Farm Aid’s year-round work for family farmers,” says Farm Aid executive director Carolyn Mugar. More than a concert, the Farm Aid festival is an annual gathering place for activists involved in the Good Food Movement and related concerns with the environment and social justice. Attendees in Hartford will have access to Homegrown Concessions, Farm Aid’s trademarked menu of food produced by family farmers, using ecological practices, with a fair price paid to the farmers. Part of the Xfinity Theater site will be set aside for Homegrown Village, featuring activities to highlight issues around soil, water, energy, food and farming. Festivalgoers can hear farmers and artists educate and inspire on the FarmYard Stage and learn agrarian skills and celebrate the cultures of agriculture in the HOMEGROWN Skills tent.
