Come to the Wild Goose Festival

Come to the Wild Goose Festival – even for just one day. If you are intrigued by the Wild Goose Festival -- which will be held from June 21 to 24 in Shakori Hills, NC, southwest of Chapel Hill -- but can’t take in the whole four days, you can buy tickets for just one day or an evening. 

If you especially want to hear and meet David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World, you can come for the day on Saturday, or just the evening.  David will speak at 5:00 p.m.

Or if the Bread-sponsored Concert for Justice appeals to you, Friday evening will be the time. But be prepared to stay up late. The concert kicks off at 10 p.m. Bryan McFarland and Jacob’s Join, along with members of The Collection and Songs of Water, will sing and invite participants to raise their voices to urge their senators and representatives to make ending hunger and poverty a priority.

The price for a single day ticket (9 a.m. to 11:30 pm) is $49 for adults and $39 for students or youth. A single evening pass (4:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) is $29 for adults and $19 for students or youth.
