Pull up a blanket or lawn chairs and head to Town ‘n’ Country’s Sweetwater Organic Community Farm for a day-long festival featuring sets from nearly a dozen bands.

Highlights on the the bill include soulful songwriter and vocalist Kristopher James, ace drum and harp-based outfit Katara, and more.

Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome, and for the first time ever, Sweetwater has added a camp-on-the-farm option that will let a family stay the night after the festival wraps.

Kids under 12 get in free, and tickets start at $20 for the 3rd Annual Farm Aid Tampa Bay Music Fest happening Saturday, Dec. 6 at Sweetwater Organic Community Farm in Tampa.
