  Sept. 4-5-6 2009 at the NJ State Fairgrounds

A 3 day music festival will be taking place at the NJ State Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ. June 5-6-7. The 3rd annual EVOLVE Music and Arts Festival (evolvefest.org) is on-course to become the Garden State's premiere music festival. EVOLVE highlights the amazing artistic talent of our region and demonstrates New Jersey's commitment to healthy living and the fine arts.

EVOLVEFEST is a celebration that brings together over 70 live bands on 3 stages. There will be camping, yoga classes, live painting, environmental educators, healthy food vendors, arts and crafts and thousands of community members coming together in a lively exchange of energy and ideas. The agenda? Three days of fun in the sun, two nights of camping and one unforgettable community experience at the New Jersey State Fairgrounds.

Throughout the weekend there will be over 15 Yoga classes available for people of all levels of experience. There will be beginners classes for those new to yoga, there will be kids yoga and classes for those with more experience. Yoga is a great way to keep the body and mind healthy and strong!

Says Founder, Dave Bryson, "EVOLVEFEST is an idea whose time has come. EVOLVE is about communicating the joy of living conscious and healthy lives. EVOLVE is an outlet for the kind of human creativity that can help solve big global problems.  By bringing people together in a vibrant atmosphere charged with  music, art and creativity, we hope to raise awareness and deepen the level of communication among people who wish to live in more meaningful and conscious ways." says Bryson
