Rislofest family, thank you for supporting us and being apart of this wild ride. We couldn’t do this without you. As some of you may know, we had many challenges with last years festival causing financial burden. We're currently at a crossroads, we would like to continue Rislofest but because of the recent struggles we have to take a break this year. With that being said we are asking our wonderful community for support to continue.

Rislofest!! Born from the memory of our dear friend Ryan Alexander Risley, has grown into a beacon of hope and community support. This annual music festival emerged as a heartfelt tribute to Risely’s spirit, capturing the essence of love and camaraderie that defined his life. Despite the initial somber beginnings, Rislofest has evolved into a vibrant celebration of life, music, and shared purpose.

    What began as a modest gathering has transformed into a powerful force for good, raising thousands of dollars for local causes and families in need. Rislofest’s commitment to making a tangible impact has resonated deeply within the community, fostering a sense of unity and mutual responsibility.

     Remarkably, Rislofest has achieved all this without the backing of sponsors or financial support. Instead, it has relied on the support of the very community it serves. The absence of funding underscores the grassroots nature of this endeavor, emphasizing the genuine connection between organizers, performers, and attendees. Now as Rislofest stands at a crossroads, the call for support echoes louder than ever. Rislofest’s survival hinges on the support from the community it has uplifted for years. Your contribution is the key to keeping this movement alive. STAND WITH US!! and let the resonance of your support echo through our community. Without your support the music fades, the impact dims and Rislofest’s vibrant heartbeat risks falling silent. 

    Rislofest, from its inception has relied on the community to grow and develop. We appreciate every single dollar sent our way so we have set up some things for those who help get us closer to our goal. There will also be some big surprises for our donors this summer at the Road to Rislofest Campout and if we reach our set markers we will continue working on Rislofest 5 set for the summer/fall of 2025! Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

     As we draw the curtain on another chapter of Rislofest, we extend our gratitude to our dedicated supporters and Rislofest family. Your contributions have fueled the spirit of this community-driven celebration. As we look ahead to the future, we carry your enthusiasm with us, knowing that Rislofest thrives because of the people who attend it. Thank you for being an integral part of our story and for making each festival an unforgettable experience. Until next time, the rhythm of gratitude continues…. See you on the farm! ❤️
