Neil Young and Stephen Stills will reunite to headline 2024’s Harvest Moon charity concert, taking place October 5th in Lake Hughes, California. The day-long show benefits the Painted Turtle Camp and the Bridge School.
In addition to Young and Stills, Harvest Moon is set to feature additional artists that have yet to be announced. Painted Turtle executive director April Tani said in a statement: “We’re thrilled to welcome the community to Harvest Moon at the Painted Turtle. This event not only brings together amazing musicians and families, but also raises vital funds for two organizations committed to changing lives. It’s a day of music, fun, and philanthropy — what could be better?”
The Painted Turtle Camp and the Bridge School, each focus on providing access to education and experience to children in need. The Painted Turtle Camp provides a free camp for kids with serious medical conditions, while the Bridge School offers education to children with physical disabilities and severe speech impairments. The event described in a statement: “The concert will begin as attendees arrive to the sounds of the marimba ensemble Masanga. As the day progresses, Neil Young and Stephen Stills will take the stage for individual sets, joined by other talented performers to be announced. The event will culminate with a sunset performance, creating a magical atmosphere for all who attend. The festival-like day will also feature family-friendly activities, including face painting, food trucks, and much more.”
From 1986 to 2016, Neil and Pegi Young hosted annual Bridge School Benefit concerts in California. In 2019, not long after Pegi Young’s death, Neil Young played the first Harvest Moon festival to benefit the Painted Turtle and the Bridge School.
