The Purple Hatter’s Ball at Spirit of the Suwanee in Live Oak, Florida has revealed their 2015 lineup. The event, held annually in memory of Rachel Morningstar Hoffman, will take place May 8-10. The lineup features Lotus, Nahko and Medicine For the People, Alex Grey, Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaries, Toubab Krewe, The Werks, Random Rab, Roosevelt Collier’s Suwannee Jam and many more.
This year’s festivities will also feature a brand new Beach Stage and a Silent Disco!
The event benefits the Rachel Morningstar Foundation which, according to a press release, “exists to help the public understand the benefit of guidelines for law enforcement’s use of confidential informants (CIs). Currently each state, county, city, college campus or law enforcement agency sets their own standards, laws or guidelines as it relates to recruiting and using CIs. The efforts of this foundation are dedicated to the memory of Rachel Morningstar Hoffman (December 17, 1984 – May 7, 2008) a 23-year-old Florida State University graduate. She was murdered while acting as a police informant during a drug sting that started on May 7, 2008. The first of its kind in the U.S., Rachel’s Law, a Florida law that went into effect on July 1, 2009, established new guidelines for law enforcement when dealing with confidential informants.”
A limited number of early bird tickets are currently on sale for $79! Get tickets and additional info on their website.
