Barnstock is located on four acres on Black Farms Rd. near the intersection of highway 73. Davidson's Miles Brown, 20, started the festival in 2009 with the help of family and friends. The grassroots event is not only a showcase for local and regional artists. Proceeds from the 2012 festival will benefit Second Harvest Food Bank, American Red Cross, and the Davidson Fire Department. Organizers have donated over $12,000 for the Fire Department since the festival's inception.
A coed sand volleyball tournament will also be held to raise funds for Queens University student and volleyball player Ashley Winters, who is battling Hodgkins-Lymphoma. It takes place Saturday. Learn more about that event here.
