Today we’re here to put a special event on your radar: Operation Music Fest. This awesome music festival happening in Anderson will be a mix of country music + rock ‘n’ roll, so there’s something for everyone – unless you’re someone who either hates music or exclusively listens to noise bands.

Not only is this festival going to have some awesome musicians, but it’s for a great cause. The “operation” in Operation Music Fest is to honor the brave men + women who have fought to serve our country. Ten percent of all proceeds, plus 100% of any direct donations from the festival, will be donated to Task Force Resolute.
