Join us for fun and fund-raising at MusicFest Downtown Stuart, in Gazebo Park, 6 p.m.-11 p.m., Friday, April 15.

Proceeds from purchases of food, beverages and other items at the event go to House of Hope, plus there will be opportunities to donate and provide Tips for Hope!

Admission is free. Enjoy live entertainment, food, beverages, arts, crafts, a car show and kids activities (bounce houses, rock wall, face painting).

The music will be by Blane’s Not a Name, a band that bridges the musical divide between the 1980s & today.
