Downtown Russellville will come alive with music, food and community fun Saturday, Oct. 17, during Hope Fest, a fundraiser benefiting the River Valley Child Advocacy Center.

 

Taking place at Handlebar and set for 5-11 p.m., Hope Fest will feature live performances from Dreadful Day, Henry Zoellner and Jenna B. Worden, along with vendors and food available for purchase.

 

Proceeds from the event will support RVCAC and its work providing services to children and families who have experienced child abuse. The organization provides evidence-based interventions and services in a child-friendly environment designed to reduce additional trauma and help children and families begin the healing process. Services are provided at no cost to children and families.

 

“Hope Fest is more than a night of music and fun—it is an opportunity for our community to come together for children,” said Marilyn Sanders, director. “Every ticket, sponsorship and donation helps us continue providing services that help children and families heal. We are grateful to everyone who is helping make this event possible.”

 

General admission tickets are $15 in advance. VIP tickets are $50 and include access to two reserved seating areas with front-row seating, dinner at Downtown Taco and access to select bathrooms.
