Matisyahu Plays Farm Aid

by Aliza Wasserman · August 9th, 2007

Events, New York

Hasidic reggae master Matisyahu will be among the excellent line-up at the upcoming Farm Aid 2007 concert and festival at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island on Sunday Sept. 9th… and they say Jews don’t farm…

In addition to music, the actual Farm Aid festival will include fresh examples of New York’s sustainable & organic bounty, which will be collected on a caravan around the state leading up to the concert, as well as opportunities for education and action to improve our food system.

This year’s Farm Aid will be focusing on the New York City food system and the connections between urban and rural with a series of community and policy events leading up to the concert throughout New York City. Stay tuned for more specific information on this exciting series.

I am so excited about this concert! I got my tickets ages ago. Will Hazon have a table? Also, I read that all the food at the concert will be organic, sustainable, local, etc. I’m happy to hear this because when I went to Clearwater earlier this summer, I expected it to be an evironmentally conscious event but it seemed to be just as wasteful and as much of an negative impact as any other festival!
