Life is good Festival

The Life is good Festival takes place September 22-23, 2012 at Prowse Farm in Canton, MA, a suburb of Boston, at the base of the Blue Hills. The festival is hosted by Life is good®, a Boston-based company that spreads the power of optimism through its products and non–profit efforts to help kids in need.  All proceeds raised by the festival will benefit The Life is good Playmakers.

The Fresh Beat Band is based on the television show of the same name, which airs on Nickelodeon.  The show centers on four friends who perform as the Fresh Beat Band as they learn music and solve problems through song and dance.  Also joining the line-up for the Good Kids Stage will be Dan Zanes & Friends, The KIDZ BOP Kids, who will be making their Boston-area debut and local kids favorite Josh & the Jamtones.
