Vermont Business Magazine Do Good Fest, a benefit music concert hosted by National Life Group on its Montpelier campus, is returning after a hiatus during the pandemic. The largest concert held in central Vermont is expected to bring almost 10,000 people to the company’s natural amphitheater. This year, Do Good Fest is featuring X Ambassadors as its headliner as well as American Authors, Forest Blakk, and Vermont’s own Moxie.
A new highlight for the event is Beats for Good, a high school music competition. Kingdom All Stars, a group of teen musicians from the Northeast Kingdom, won after close to 6,000 online votes were tallied. They will perform as a lead in to Moxie. The Laker Ladies, a trio from Colchester High School, will sing the song that made them a close second and will open Do Good Fest.
Other new features include a VIP Lounge and a livestream option that can be seen on DoGoodFest.com for those who can’t make it to the event. All proceeds will once again benefit Branches of Hope, the cancer patient fund at Central Vermont Medical Center. Do Good Fest raised over a quarter million dollars for this fund over the years that used to be supported by bake sales. Online donations are tracking strong. The amount raised through reserved tickets will be revealed before X Ambassadors takes the stage.
Do Good Fest will also host a Nonprofit Village including 25 local nonprofits, a beer tent, almost 20 food vendors, and a Kids Zone.
