On Saturday, De Anza Cove at Mission Bay will host its first ever music and arts festival. The Elemental Experience is an all-day event with popular bands and DJs, for a social purpose - to build a shelter for abandoned children throughout our city. The festival will feature well-known musicians like Matisyahu. The concert begins at noon and will last until 10 p.m.
Elemental Experience is put on by Stayclassy.org which is a nonprofit organization that helps raise money and awareness for local charities in San Diego. The goal of the festival is to raise enough money to build a shelter for the 2,200 kids who live on the streets of San Diego. $500,000 is what it will take. If less than one percent of the residents in San Diego gave just $10 to this campaign, the goal will be reached.
The festival will also have an art village, featuring the art of 40 local artists. Some of the art will be on display only and some will be for sale. The festival will also showcase a fashion show, featuring summer wear. The Elemental Experience encompasses the world of arts while raising money for a good cause. Each ticket is $40 and 100 percent of the proceeds go toward building a shelter for homeless youth. Visit Stayclassy.org for more information on the event and to purchase your tickets. All USD students will receive a 15 percent discount by typing "USD" in the promo bar when purchasing their ticket online.
