Rock the Farm Festival
the 2023 festival is officially postponed
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of this year’s Rock The Farm Festival to June 1, 2024.
After consulting with the township, safety staff, and tenting companies- we have made the difficult decision to postpone for everyone’s safety due to extreme winds and rain. We know that this will come as an enormous disappointment, not only to the attendees, the vendors, the musicians who were due to attend the show, but also to the community.
This festival is the lifeline to HealingUS Communities. By not opening our gates, we are taking a significant loss and are completely devastated. We have no words to express our sincerest apologies. In the 9 years that we’ve had this festival, we have never had to cancel with such short notice. Our programs are crucial to supporting our communities and helping people achieve and maintain long term recovery. In Monmouth County, Naloxone was administered 730 times since the start of 2023- 99 of those administrations unfortunately still resulted in an overdose death.This number does not include all Overdose Deaths, only deaths that occurred when Naloxone was deployed. In Ocean County, between January 1, 2023 – July 31, 2023, there were a reported 1,578 overdose deaths. These numbers will continue to climb as the months grow colder and the holidays arrive. We must continue our mission. We know recovery is possible. Any donations are beyond appreciated at this time.
All purchased tickets will be transferable to next year’s Rock The Farm Spring Festival on June 1, 2024. We thank you all for your continued support to our festival, to the cause, and to our communities. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
Peace, Love & Music,
HealingUS Communities
