Rislofest

05/20/2025

Hey Rislofest family, we need your help.

As you know, tornadoes have torn through parts of Kentucky and destroyed homes, neighborhoods, and communities. Most recently, Laurel County and Pulaski County have fallen victim to the storms. Many members of our RisloFest team are from Laurel County and are working to gather supplies to help survivors.

We ask that if you are able to contribute, please drop off any and all donations at either location of Big Kahuna BBQ in Lexington Ky, today through Thursday (904 Liberty Rd and 3103 Clays Mill Rd).

For those of you who want to help but don’t live in Lexington, there are a couple other ways to donate:

United Way of Laurel County has been the designated as the official organization to receive funds for long term disaster recovery. You can learn more about United Way of London and contribute to these funds here: https://unitedwaylaurelcounty.com/

If you want to donate directly to a family that has been affected, here’s the link to the gofundme for the Deaton Family, who thankfully escaped the storms with their lives, but lost their entire home. Their family is completely displaced and having to temporarily stay in a hotel- anything you can donate helps! https://gofund.me/1b42136f

We love and thank you for all your continued support!!

🎆 HAPPY NEW YEAR and NEW BEGINNINGS🎆

Evan, here with the Rislofest team. We hope everyone had a great end to 2024, and ready for 2025. We want to update everyone on our plans going forward, we are taking this year off from putting on Rislofest to reground and regroup. We plan on having more events in the future we just don’t know what that looks like at this time. We are very grateful for every single one of you who played, attended, helped, volunteered, or simply just shared our post on here. Thank you! We’re excited for the future of Rislofest so stay tuned for updates 🫶

Everyone take care of yourself and love one another. Be nice to your neighbor and next time you wonder if you should call that friend, hug that friend, or simply think about them. DO IT.
Tomorrow is never promised, don’t wait for things to be perfect today!

This is Evan Harlow on behalf of the Rislofest team. WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you to every single last person that came to the farm this past weekend and made rislofest camp out one of the best ones yet! The presence of all of our friends that our no longer here was greater than ever. The crowd was fun,loving,responsible and most of all there. It takes a small village to make these events happen and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone on our team.
Thank you Terrapin Hill Farm/Music Venue Pete and Brenda Cashel for allowing us to use your beautiful farm we’ve all grown to call home. Thanks to Stephen Ramsey and FYS Productions for bringing the sound, MOAT ZOO for lighting the place up. Thank you to Craig and Tiff Gordon for running front gate and everything else. Each and every band that came and played their hearts out on chapel stage. That was awesome. I would like to give a special thanks to my parents John-Rena Harlow for the continued support over the years and the backing in the beginning. Thank you to Josh Laster for being the best partner I could ask for the last 5 years. Thank you to all of my close friends that have made this festival a memorable and touching experience for everyone involved. If you’ve been a part of this journey you know who you are, whether it was early on or your still trucking along THANK YOU.
None of this would be possible with out you guys thank you! Most of all thank you to our friends that are no longer with us that were awesome enough while they were here that made us want to throw a music festival in your name. Ryan Alexander Risley that’s you , you’re the real MVP.

Everyone take care of yourself and love one another. Be nice to your neighbor and next time you wonder if you should call that friend, hug that friend, or simply think about them. DO IT.
Tomorrow is never promised, don’t wait for things to be perfect today!
