Benefest is a benefit festival to support arts education at Buckman Elementary and the Portland Schools Foundation.

We’re thrilled to get started on this great new event and encourage everyone to poke around the site (www.benefest.com) and find out how your support can help us out.

The Corin Tucker Band, Eric D. Johnson, Andy Cabic, Richard Swift, Caleb Klauder Country Band, Old Light, and Truckstop Darlin’ make for a great lineup. In addition to these shows we’ll have the first ever Flickathon at Mission Theater, which will be three unique screenings of select video highlights from 2010 Pickathon. Did we also mention that there will be Live Streaming available? It’s true!

Tickets are now available and will guarantee to sell-out in advance. All of this info and more awaits you at www.benefest.com.
