Seventh Annual Sheila Fest to Expand its Impact to Two New Nonprofits

JEFFERSON, Ga. - Oct. 3, 2023 - PRLog -- For the last six years, the all-day outdoor music festival – Sheila Fest – has become a beloved annual tradition among Traditions of Braselton residents and their Jackson, Hall, Barrow, and Gwinnett County neighbors. In addition to a lineup of talented local musicians playing to a crowd of music lovers on the 1140-acre master-planned community's sprawling event lawn, the open-air concert will benefit three worthy nonprofits. Hosted from noon to 11 p.m., a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit iServe Ministries as in years past, but this year marks the addition of Peace Place, Inc. and Amped Kids to the list of benefitting charities. Tickets for attendees 15 and older are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Kids 14 and under can enjoy the show for free.

The nonprofits benefitting from Sheila Fest include:

• iServe Ministries – iServe strives to end generational poverty among local families in the communities it serves by meeting practical needs and teaching life skills.
• Peace Place, Inc. – With 1 in 4 women impacted by domestic violence, this nonprofit empowers victims, survivors, and local communities to break the cycle of domestic violence by providing transitional housing, supportive services, and community awareness.
• Amped Kids – Dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children through the power of music, this 501(c)3 organization provides access to free private music instruction and other music programs to foster and adopted children.

Sheila Fest 2023 will feature the music of the following bands throughout the day on October 21:

• Back in Black – AC/DC Tribute
• Departure – A Tribute to Journey
• Hit List
• Smokey Jones and The 3 Dollar Pistols
• Redneck Blonde
• Dock Rock Radio
• She's A Machine – featuring Joel Koshe of Collective Soul and 8-time Grammy songwriter Julio Miranda

In addition to live music, Sheila Fest will include an ultimate kids' area, games, food trucks, local business vendors, and a tailgate section showing football games. Attendees are encouraged to bring their canopies, chairs, and coolers for a full day of fun against a scenic backdrop of the rolling foothills of the North Georgia Mountains. Gates open at 11 a.m., and the music starts at noon.
