BUNNELL, Fla. (October 9, 2023) – The 18th Annual Creekside Music & Arts Festival brought thousands of visitors to Princess Place Preserve Saturday and Sunday October 7 and 8.

Many charities will benefit from the large two day turn out including the Flagler Education Foundation, Grace Community Food Pantry, Flagler County Sheriffs Mounted Posse but the big winner was the Family Life Center domestic violence shelter who will receive $26,250.

Family Life Center CEO Trish Giaccone was thrilled with the donation.  “Flagler Broadcasting radio stations are such an important part of this community,” Giaccone said.

This year’s festival attracted many visitors from as far away as Georgia, North Carolina and even a family from the UK who said they wanted to experience an American festival with country music.

“Everything went smooth, everybody was happy” said Flagler Broadcasting’s President and CEO David Ayres who thanked the Flagler Education Foundation for doing an outstanding job of parking thousands of cars and Mother Nature for a beautiful Princess Place weekend.

Kirk Keller, Flagler Broadcasting’s director of sales and events has already announced plans for the 19th Annual Creekside Music & Arts Festival. “This year’s food and exhibitor spaces were sold out,” Keller said.  “We’re already taking vendor reservations for next year’s Creekside scheduled for Oct. 5th & 6th, 2024, hope to see you there!”
