Tickets are only $20, and non-perishable food donations are being accepted for the food pantry at Dutchess Outreach. Doors open at 11 a.m.
Sponsored by and , bands will play on two different stages at Mahoney’s, beginning at noon. Sucka Punch is expected to close out the show, taking the stage at 7:15 p.m. Ticket holders are not required to stay, and with appropriate credentials, will be allowed to leave the venue and return.
Dozens of raffles and a 50/50 will be available for patrons who want to help raise additional funds and take a chance at winning great prizes.
Tickets for today’s event are available at the door. All ages are welcome, and children 12 and under are free. Donations are also accepted on Venmo @FoodstockFund.
