Aaron Ball Band – Festival to Fight Hunger
One of eastern Idaho’s most popular bands, the Aaron Ball Band, will headline this year’s Idaho Foodbank Music Festival for the fourth year on Saturday, August 2, at 6 p.m. at Freeman Park in Idaho Falls.
In addition to the Aaron Ball Band, performers will include fan-favorite “American Idol” finalist Paige Anne, Idaho Falls country singer Andrea Alonso and local ska-punk group The Opskamatrists.
There is no set ticket price for the event. Instead, donations of any amount will be accepted, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to support the Idaho Foodbank’s efforts to combat food insecurity in southeastern Idaho.
“We hope everyone will come out, bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket, and enjoy a great evening of entertainment,” Bowman said. “Together, we can make a difference and bring our community one step closer to a future where no one goes hungry.”
