2008 Eco-Music-Festival

The Eco-Music-Festival will be a 3-day event in North Georgia in a pristine setting just 1 hour North of Atlanta, Georgia on the head waters of the Amicalola River just West of Amicalola Falls State Park...

2008 ECO-MUSIC-FEST
100 Bands in 3 Days!


The Eco-Music-Festival is an exhibition that will reach national and International prestige given the quality of music and arts as well as educating the public on environmental issues. The Eco-Music-Fest 2008 is being presented by Diamond Productions & Moon-Shine Entertainment to raise money for Rainbow Nation a non-profit organization.

The Eco-Music-Festival will be a 3-day event that will take place in North Georgia in a pristine setting just one hour North of Atlanta, Georgia. This will take place on the Head waters of the Amicalola River just West of Amicalola Falls State Park. This annual event will be hosted at the Amicalola Deer Park Sanctuary & Animal refuge.

Diamond Productions & Moon-Shine Entertainment is very proud to announce this 3rd Annual Eco-Music-Fest event. This festival will enable opportunity to support Rainbow Nation’s non-profit organization and its outreach mission. This event supplies a portion of the monetary need that helps feed the many animals that have been rescued and placed within the sanctuary. Rainbow Nation and their outreach programs work with special needs children by offering a therapeutic relationship with animals in a retreat setting.

Rainbow Nation along with their eco friendly vendors & merchants will be offering various activities such as self-sustainable living exhibitions performance arts and innovated ideas to promote using renewable energy.

The goal of the Eco-Music-Fest is to move closer to becoming totally “Green” and elevate environmental awareness to the local and outward communities of North Georgia. This awareness will be accomplished by means of the event’s Music, Art & Celebration. This we believe will transcend the cause to the individual. Sending out the message of encouragement with the initiatives to make one think about the condition of he or she’s environment.

The Eco-Music-Festival creates a gathering place for eco-aware companies where they can share their interest and exchange ideas toward improving the quality of life. This annual eco-event raises opportunity to strengthen the “Green” movement by extending the network into areas not yet educated in the many aspects of conservation & preservation as well as up lifting those that are already involved in this movement in these locations. It will also give the local entrepreneurs the opportunity to improve and expand their network internationally as well as boost in direct promotions of their companies by being linked to such an event.

The Eco-Music-Fest has become a forum and a “Voice” from the people & for the people a calling of awareness toward our roll in the stewardship of our homeland Mother Earth.

This Eco-Music-Festival will showcase 100 Bands Local, Regional & National artist from the Southeastern music scene. The cultivation of these bands has been an on going effort by Diamond Productions & Audition Atlanta to premiere up coming new & original artist.
