7th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival in Elk River

7th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival in Elk River

Join us for the 7th Annual #LIVIN Music Festival, a two-day event to benefit the #LIVIN Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to prevent suicide by creating quality connections through everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships.

Funds from #LIVIN Music Festival are used to directly support the mission of LIVIN Foundation in preventing suicide through various programs like camps and retreats for families and individuals who lost a loved one to suicide, LIVIN Community Fund Financial grant program, suicide prevention training and education, and the mental health resource platform called LivinConnected.

Paul Thomas (PT) helped found the organization after losing his father to suicide in 2013. PT decided that instead of focusing on how his father died, he wanted to embrace the way he lived. "I needed to encourage others to TALK about depression and suicide instead of hiding it due to embarrassment. This way we could reduce the stigma associated with depression and other mental illness and maybe, just maybe, save a life in the process."
Not only is the #LIVIN Music Festival an opportunity for connection, but PT says it's a great value with the ability to see seven bands for less than $10 per band. "It's the best band for your buck!" Join us for the most eclectic country music festival around and help us Start The Conversation, Listen with Intent and Get Busy #LIVIN! Remember it is ALWAYS a great day to be alive!
