Langerado Canceled

It was disappointing to find out about the cancellation of Langerado this year. The location move from an indian reservation in the Everglades to downtown Miami might be why they did not sell enough tickets this year. There is something about paying for at hotel and an over price festival ticket that does not sit right with people.

Don't worry though, another festival is accuring the same weekend if you had your heart set on good music and camping. Harvest of Hope Fest will be going on March 6-8 in St. Augustine, Florida.

Visit HarvestofHopeFest.com for more details on tickets, line-up, camping, and everything else you might need. Check back for my picks for the festival.
