“For the 50th Festival, we invited artists who had come to LEAF before and made a significant impact through their message, music or work with community youth,” explained LEAF Global Arts founder Jennifer Pickering. “As we curate each LEAF, we seek to create a journey to places, cultures and experiences through the music and arts. LEAF creates a platform and connection for powerful voices often underseen.”

In addition to music, LEAF will host performing artists, visual artists, outdoor activities and present camping options. Tickets are on sale now. Buy LEAF Festival 2022 tickets via www.theleaf.org.
