10% of Festival Proceeds Support Widowed Military Spouses & Their Families

At Live At Present, we believe great festivals should create lasting impact. That’s why 10% of all LAP Arts & Music Festival proceeds are donated to support widowed military spouses and their families. Every ticket purchased helps honor the sacrifices of our service members and supports the families who continue their legacy.

Passion. Purpose. Now.
