We’ve Set the Date!

18th Oct 2007



Saturday, April 5, 2007

The SPHF board and its wildly enthusiastic team of volunteers is currently working on next years lineup of musicians and the yet as undetermined theme for the festival in 2008.

The festival will be held on Saturday April 5 2008 from 11am  to 7pm. The date was changed from March to April to coincide with the Womens Final Four Basketball Finals to be held in Tampa in and around the same weekend. There will be no games played on the day of the festival so everyone will be free to come and join us!!!

Due to the overwhelming positive response from all the musicians who were polled as to their availability and willingness to perform, it will be a very difficult job for the selection committee to pare down this very talented pool of performers to just 8 acts.

We hope to be able to have this task completed by Dec. 1.  We are still waiting on some responses from some of the out of town acts and we want to give everyone ample time to check their calendars, arrange for transport and lodging.

Watch for more festival updates in the coming weeks….
