The 29th Annual Blank-Fest returns with a full day of live music and community support to collect blankets for the homeless. Admission is simple: bring a new or gently used blanket. The blankets collected at the Nyack show are delivered directly to people experiencing homelessness on the streets of NYC beginning Christmas Eve—no agencies, no middlemen, just volunteers giving warmth where it’s needed most.

This year’s show will feature 19+ acts from the Hudson Valley, New York City, and beyond, spanning indie, rock, punk, folk, blues, and spoken word. Returning favorites include Patti Rothberg, Bobby Steele (Misfits/The Undead), Joe D’Urso, The Horse You Rode In On, and Rowell’s own band, The Baghdaddios, who will close the night with their signature Lower East Side punk energy. Also returning is bilingual poet Yvonne Sotomayor (aka “Mrs. Blank-Fest”), whose “Blank-Fest Poem” serves as a rallying cry for the cause. For more information, visit blankfest.org.
