We share this reminder from Butter, our bovine avatar, to take no notice of people trying to sell you their HSB tickets.
HSB is free, there are no tickets. Bring your kindness to the Park and enjoy some great music. See you there!

While we all wish Alison Krauss a speedy recovery, we are extremely happy that Rilo Kiley will take her spot on the Saturday lineup. Jenny Lewis has played HSB many times, so having her with the rest of her band at the Swan Stage on Saturday will be big fun!
