As the 3rd Annual Sunflower Farm Music Festival approaches, Mikey had the pleasure of catching up with Kelly King from Pacific Biodiesel, the visionary behind the event. Set against the scenic backdrop of Maui’s Central Valley, this festival not only promises an array of musical talent but also champions local farming and sustainability.

Music with a Mission

Kelly shared the festival’s dual goal: to entertain and to educate. Slated for May 4th, the festival features an impressive lineup, including the Licorice Pizza All-Star Band with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and top-tier Hawaiian artists like Tavana and Marty Dread. These performances are not just about music; they’re a powerful platform to support vital Maui-based non-profits like Maui Hub and Grow Some Good, dedicated to enhancing the island’s food security.

The day at Pacific Biodiesel’s family farm will be filled with music, farm tours, and a farmers market, turning the event into a vibrant community gathering. Additionally, a special performance by Ferry Townes in the Living808 Green Room offered a preview of the festival’s heartfelt and harmonious spirit.

Sustainable Sounds

Kelly emphasized the festival’s commitment to sustainability, which aligns with the ethos of Pacific Biodiesel. This zero-waste event serves as an inspiring example of how community gatherings can be both enjoyable and environmentally conscious. Attendees are encouraged to engage with the land and learn more about sustainable practices that they can incorporate into their own lives.

An Invitation to Connect and Celebrate

As we look forward to the festival, Kelly invites everyone to join in this celebration of music, community, and sustainability. With general admission and VIP experiences available, there’s an opportunity for everyone to partake in this unique event that goes beyond entertainment to make a tangible impact on local agriculture and food security.
