Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to Keynote Forecastle Festival

Two really cool pieces of news to come out of the Forecastle Festival camp today. First, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to keynote the festival. Second, the festival will include a 100% all-natural, Kentucky farm grown menu. That is 100% awesome.

I’m proud to announce that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will keynote the 7th annual Forecastle Festival, July 25th – 27th on the Riverfront in Louisville, KY. Kennedy, named by Time Magazine as one of the “Heroes of the Planet” for his successful efforts to clean up the Hudson River, currently serves as Chief Prosecuting Attorney for the Hudson Riverkeeper organization, as well as president of The Waterkeeper Alliance. He is also a clinical professor and supervising attorney at the Pace University School of Law’s Environmental Litigation Clinic and is co-host of the environmentally-programmed Ring of Fire show on Air America Radio.


Robert will address the audience at 2:30pm Sunday, July 27th, to be followed by an all-star cast of musicians, including The Del McCoury Band, Ekoostik Hookah, Dr. Dog, Gran Bel Fischer, and many more. For complete line-ups, please visit: http://www.forecastlefest.com/lineup.php


In addition to the keynote speaker, Forecastle plans to include (2) stages powered exclusively by solar energy – one of the first major festivals in the Midwest to do so. The festival will also include a culinary menu consisting of 100% all-natural food, grown exclusively by Kentucky farmers.
