Awareness, Jack Link & Associates and The City of Cape Canaveral are preparing for September 24th when the City of Cape Canaveral will be hosting the Space Coast Music Festival, a benefit for E.A.R.T.H. Awareness’s music in the schools program. This year’s school chosen by last year’s recipient Derrick Blassingame, is Cape View Elementary School. Aside from the big stage talent and the beautiful waterfront setting, the event will feature a renowned and diverse array of critically acclaimed art, craft and food vendors.

The Space Coast Music Festival will be held at Manatee Sanctuary Park, at 701 Thurm Boulevard in Cape Canaveral.

Admission is Free but we will be accepting donations at the gate to enjoy 10 hours of non stop music.

2 stages of continuous music will feature top notch talent filling the day with great music. The Bone Dogs, The Queen Bees, The MC’s, Mo Geetz, The Gilroy’s, Danny Morris Band, Overload, Zen Again, The Tourist, Vince Baldino, Dave Grooms, Jon Parrot, Chris McCune and Tina Eno are all scheduled to perform.

E.A.R.T.H. Awareness is Entertainers Against Ruining Their Home. A group of entertainment industry professionals, dedicated to the preservation of creative outlets and natural experiences for the youth of Central Florida. E.A.R.T.H. Awareness was created to promote quality family time in a natural setting, with programs in music, art, drama, planet-protecting education, and fun.

The organization raises funds to help with their "The Music in The Schools Program", a direct-to-teacher classroom supply program for art, music, and drama, programs in Central Florida schools. We make lasting memories of fun educational experiences, and teach families and children how to make a creative difference for the future. The preservation of roots music is a key component to E.A.R.T.H.'S programs. EARTH has donated over $50,000 in musical instruments and equipment to Brevard county schools since 2000, this fundraiser is to assist EARTH in purchasing instruments for Cape View Elementary School, in Cape Canaveral. Our goal is to purchase new instruments for this school, so the children can have hands on musical experiences in their classroom. Cape View Elementary is a title 1 school and many of the children in this school are on subsidized lunch. Cape View Elementary has minimal instruments in their music program. The music teacher receives a minimal budget per year for music instruments & supplies. Help us help this wonderful school.

Non-Stop Music, all weekend long, is the goal of this years festivities The festivities will kick off with a VIP Cocktail Party, Friday, September 23rd from 6 PM to 10 PM. The music festival will be held on Saturday from 11 AM to 9 PM. There will also be a music memorabilia silent auction, raffles, and more fun awaiting our music fans. Make sure to buy your chance to win a Warren Haynes Autographed guitar. From 10 PM to 1 AM an after festival jam will feature the performers from the event mixing it up.

EARTH Awareness loves kids and passing on the tradition of the wonderful musicians who have gone before us. Giving music to area elementary school children is a way to honor their memory and their love for traditional music.
