Be Kind: A Celebration of Life for Max Graham

The family of Max Graham invites you to join them on their family farm for an afternoon of music and fellowship to celebrate a life well lived, yet over too soon. For years Max envisioned a celebration of art and music on the family farm and we can’t think of a better way to honor him. Along with celebrating Max and sharing stories, the family will also share their plans for carrying on Max’s legacy and how you can be a part of that.

IMPORTANT STUFF TO KNOW:

• Doors open at 12pm, music starts at 1pm.
• Come as you are, however you are able.
• Overnight tent camping spots are available. First come, first serve.
• If you're not a camper but want to stay close, here is a list of hotels to check out.
• Please carpool if able - parking is limited! Hell, charter a party bus.
• There will be a cash bar available, personal coolers and beverages are also welcome.
• Some of Max’s favorite festival food trucks will be onsite to keep bellies full.
• Camping chairs and picnic blankets are welcome.
• This celebration is rain or shine.
• The family requests that all event attendees have received their COVID-19 vaccine and are beyond their two-week waiting period.

WHY TICKETS?

• Max touched a lot of hearts! And the family farm is only so big. Please claim your ticket so we can plan accordingly to ensure everyone has a great afternoon.
• We’re hoping to continue this festival year over year to honor Max. Registering for this year gets you on the mailing list for all the updates on future events.
• Tickets to the celebration are free. If you'd like to help support the family and the artists you can make a donation at www.helpthegrahams.com.
• No ticket necessary for kids under 18!

Bands, artist vendors, and live artists line up to be announced closer to the event.

While we did not pick the date with this in mind, it is not lost on us that September is Suicide Awareness Month. It also happens to be the weekend of Max and Hannah’s fifth wedding anniversary. Sometimes the universe brings the details together for you. We hope you’re able to join us!
