Wishlist Artists

We know the more popular the artists, the more people will come from longer distances and bring their friends. and families… especially if it’s affordable!  Each year, the headlining artist is the largest expense as we have to be very selective due to limited budget and we are usually late to the “booking table” as those artists also require deposits upon booking.  .  We are dreaming bigger in hopes that perhaps we could secure funding for artists our audience has said they would LOVE to see here “at home” in Floyd County.

We would LOVE to have YOUR HELP in securing artist(s) NOW!  These artists cost $25k and up to book.

Potential future direction

Increasing an Artist Budget from $10,000-$12,000 a year to $25,000-$50,000 would significantly increase attendance. We would also want to double our marketing budget to $10,000 to help draw people from the surrounding states. In the event we are able to raise funds up-front we also would consider moving to a multi-day event.

With an A caliber headliner and similar supporting acts tickets would be increased some to help pay for the event. At the same time our goal would be to continue to keep tickets as low as possible to be affordable for families.

What do we need to achieve the goal of significant growth? Replenish Festival is operated under our 501c3 non-profit Ministry Replenish Ministries Inc. The event is funded by business sponsors, churches, individual donations, and ticket sales. Each year our team works between March and June to raise the necessary funds to do the event. We have not had any success raising funds before the spring time of the year. Raising funds involves countless phone calls, meetings, sponsorship brochure mailings, and emails. Raising the funds is the most challenging part of putting on Replenish Festival as all of this work is done by board members volunteering their time for the cause, a cause we believe in and will continue. The problem with raising funds so close to the event is it makes it challenging to plan the event. We would like to be able to book our headlining artist for the next year by October. When we wait on proper funding in the Spring to book our artist the major artist are mostly booked up for other events leaving Replenish Festival with limited options for the following year.

We have reached an event milestone of 10 years. Our desire is to have sustainability, consistent support, and for the ticket’s sales to help make more of an impact on covering cost. Example if we had a $20 adult ticket and adult attendance to grow to 5000 people that would generate $100,000 that would make a major growth impact for sustainability and cover cost for the following year to continue growth the year after year.

Venue and Location

The Perfect Spot for an Unforgettable Event!

Each year, we have been invited to use the Burnett Farm located in Willis, VA. The farm has a freshwater creek that runs through it and the perfect place to have rubber duck races, for kids to wade and play in and for all to enjoy the pure beauty of God’s Creation.
