A fire in late 2022 destroyed supplies for the annual Winfest Music Festival, but a group of fans in Winslow pulled together a fundraiser to take place April 15, from noon to 6 p.m., so that the show may go on. There will be a chili supper, pie auction and T-shirts for sale, plus a day’s worth of live music. Jesse Dean performs at noon, David Cross at 1:30 p.m., Pipe Dream Weavers at 3 p.m., Slowtowne Serenaders at 4:30 p.m and Matthew Harris at 5:30 p.m. at Winslow Community Arts Center (the old high school building), 351 Highway 71 South in Winslow.

This year Winfest celebrates the 40th years of the festival in Winslow. Keep up with the ongoing story at facebook.com/winfest.

FORMAT line up announced

FORMAT has announced its 2023 lineup featuring Alanis Morissette, LCD Soundsystem, Leon Bridges, Modest Mouse, Jamie XX, Tash Sultana, Big Wild, Little Simz, Bob Moses, Poolside, Channel Tres, Paul Cauthen and many more, along with performances, installations and art experiences from world-renowned artists including Guerrilla Girls, JR’s Inside Out Project, Jeremy Deller, Ragnar Kjartansson and Kameelah Janan Rasheed.

Arkansas artist Danielle Hatch will transform and dress FORMAT’s onsite bars using colorful textiles that reference domestic interiors. In collaboration with local composer Amos Cochran, Hatch will present “ALL THE SOARINGS OF MY MIND BEGIN IN MY BLOOD”, a performance piece that ritualizes and reconnects audiences to the physical and psychological journeys of female ancestors. (Cochran will not perform a solo show.)

FORMAT has expanded its shuttle system this year to include shuttle locations in Fayetteville, Lowell and at the Momentary in Bentonville for transportation to and from the festival grounds. Shuttle passes are $40.

The otherworldly three-day celebration converging art, tech and music will take place Sept. 22-24, on the private Sugar Creek Airstrip in Bentonville. One-day tickets are $100-$700, three-day passes are $199-$1600. Tickets went on sale April 6. Full line up and more information at format-festival.com
