PILGRIMAGE MUSIC & CULTURAL FESTIVAL
PARTNERS WITH LIGHTNING 100 AND
SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
FOR THE HELP US HARVEST FOOD DRIVE
September 12th at Third Man Records
Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival continues to play an active role in the community with its latest partnership with Lightning 100 and Second Harvest Food Bank for Middle Tennessee for the Help Us Harvest Food Drive. In honor of Hungry Action Month, the Nashville area has the opportunity to donate food at the Third Man Records’ flagship store on Wednesday, September 12th as well as the chance to win passes to the fourth annual Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival on September 22 and 23 in Franklin, TN!
“This partnership and event are a great way for the festival to give back and show our thanks to the area that Pilgrimage calls home,” says co-producer Brandt Wood.
Between noon and 3pm CST, members of the public can stop by and drop off their donation. Patrons receive one entry for attending the food drive and will earn another entry for every 10lbs of food they donate. At 3pm, a raffle will be held for a pair of Pilgrimage VIP tickets. In addition, the person who donates the most food will win a pair of Pilgrimage GA tickets.
“Can you imagine seeing Jack White from the VIP section of Pilgrimage? This is a great opportunity and an even better cause. Hunger is a real issue in our community and it’s an honor to help Second Harvest Food Bank during Hunger Action Month. We couldn’t dream of a cooler spot to accept donations than Jack’s Third Man Records in Nashville, TN,” says Dan Buckley, Program Director for Lightning 100.
Experience why Rolling Stone called Pilgrimage “a festival to watch” and “one of the South’s premier festivals” by The Tennessean with a single day pass ($125), 2-Day GA Pilgrimage pass ($210), 2-Day VIP Village pass ($975) and the new Grand Champion Experience in partnership with Blackberry Farm ($2,500).
