Why go to the Wild Goose Festival?

Everyone's answer to this question is different. Some go for the music, others for the camping, some take in theological lectures, poetry slams, social justice forums, late night campfires, silent disco, art exhibits, book store and so much more! One thing follow Goose attenders can agree as their why in attending are the connections that are made - that carry on well after the festival ends. 

Listen in this week to learn more about the Wild Goose Festival from Tim Kerr - Director of Partner Relations Wild Goose Festival and participant in every Goose Festival since 2011.  

A note from Tim...

As the Sponsor Relations Director at Wild Goose Festival, I am dedicated to fostering strategic partnerships with sponsors who share our mission and values. Through cultivating these relationships, I aim to create an inclusive environment for individuals to explore spirituality, justice, and the arts. By gaining a deep understanding of the festival’s vision and sponsor needs, I strive to ensure that partnerships are mutually beneficial and in alignment with our mission. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, I am happily married to Jan for 38 years, with a son Zach, Daughter in Law Catie, and three grandchildren, Isabella, Henry, and Benjamin Brooks. Outside of work, I am actively involved in community projects, support local art initiatives, and advocate for social justice causes.
