Halfway to Forecastle MiniFest hits Headliners on Jan26th (Thanks for the heads-up Will)!
Line-ups were announced today, with all ticket proceeds benefiting Louisville BMX hero and FBM owner Jimmy Levan, currently recovering from serious injuries sustained after a skate boarding accident in New Jersey. The indoor / outdoor party will be high-energy and nautically-themed, decorated top to bottom with props and decor straight from the Carolina shoreline. Costumes encouraged.
As a tribute to Jimmy, Halfway will include an outdoor skate park under a heated canopy, courtesy of Red Bull North America. Exhibitions will start @ 2PM, featuring local and regional athletes. Additional silent auction activities will take place inside, with all proceeds benefiting Jimmy and his road to recovery.
Tickets will go on-sale next SATURDAY, DEC. 15th @ 10AM. Band of Horses Fan Club and 91.9 WFPK will be doing exclusive pre-sales next week.
Tix are $15 (get ‘em at Ear x-tacy next Saturday)
