Mighty Kindness Announces The Hoot,
a community unity festival that celebrates kindness,
Saturday, May 19th, 2018
The 11th annual Mighty Kindness Hoot will be Saturday, May 19th, 2018 at Waterfront Park Brown Forman Amphitheater from 12-7. This is a FREE community unity festival.
Positive Community Impact
Many in the community have expressed that The Hoot is their favorite community gathering/festival of the year. The Hoot organizers had the vision to make it easier to support, strengthen and bring together all who have the same vision at heart...kindness to ourselves, to each other, to our community and to Earth. The Hoot showcases local green business, natural medicine and healing, community services, peace and social justice, local farms and markets, local artists and musicians. They realized that in order to really have a community, it is vital to come together in person and truly get know your neighbor.
Quote from a Hoot Organizer: “The reason the Mighty Kindness Hoots have grown so much is that it is an idea whose time has come. People are hungry for connection with folks who have a compassionate vision for society. They need to work for something, not just stand against. People tell us how much they need to see, hear and be surrounded by positive solutions, art, inspiration and community”. said organizer Aim Me Smiley.
Happening at The Hoot
The 2018 Hoot highlights community heroes protecting our water, our mountains, our air, our green spaces, worker’s rights and the rights of all humans and animals. Guest speakers will include Congressman John Yarmuth, State Representative Attica Scott and many other local leaders whose record is evidence of kindness. This year The Hoot will be supporting the voices of student leaders in our community speaking out on climate change, gun safety, and other social, cultural and social issues. The youth have a vision for our community and our planet and The Hoot supports their vision and voices.
The Hoot offers two stages of live, local music. Come hear why Louisville.com called the Hoot “one of the top 15 Music Festivals”. The Hoot will be featuring performances by some of the most outstanding musicians in the region including Danny Flanigan & The Rain Chorus, VILLA MURE, RMLLW2LLZ, Tez of 2Deep, HPK Threshold, Poppa Stampley, The Juggerloos, Gavin Caster, Sasha Renee, DJ Shaheed, CPHR DVN, Intelli-G, Mikel Brown, Kara, Holly & Nick, Sol-Ra, T-Man Williams, Peter Wesley, DJ ALLi, Kavi and Kri.
The Hoot supports local farmers who raise real food, right here. You will find a foodie heaven of locally grown, non-GMO and organic gourmet delights with many vegetarian and vegan offerings. Homemade beer will be available by the award-winning Apocalypse Brew Works.
You can feel good and do some good at the Massage-a-thon. Get a massage and help give children a home with your donation. All proceeds from the Massage-a-thon will be given to St. Joseph’s Children's Home. Come and experience many forms of alternative healing and healthy offerings that promote body, mind and spirit wholeness. Yoga, Tai Chi groups, and acupuncture and massage therapists are among the many who will be sharing information and demoing to help you improve your wellbeing and be kinder to yourself.
The Hoot highlights a wide diversity of local artisans who are crafting from recycled and earth-friendly materials who will be selling their wares. Handmade jewelry, crafts, candles, CBD and hemp products, precious gems and stones, soaps, essential oils and much, much more!
The Mighty Kind Parades will be marching around The Hoot! There will be small parades throughout the day representing organizations & causes. Attendees, organizations and groups will be marching and dancing with decorated umbrellas. The parades will feature the larger-than-life Element Puppets and will be celebrating Youth, Dreamers, Immigrants and Refugees, the Poor People’s Campaign, and Earth and her protectors. This is our way of celebrating all of the joy and kindness in our community!
A Free School with 2 tents of Workshops will be open to the public to engage and learn more about topics like
