In partnership with the Trust for the National Mall, Landmark Music Festival will be the first event held to support the Trust’s Landmark Campaign for the National Mall, which will establish various events and promotions to raise awareness, participation and fundraising to restore the most visited national park in America, the National Mall. The grounds, which were built to honor America’s brightest leaders and bravest heroes, is suffering from a growing amount of deferred maintenance and needed upgrades to the infrastructure of the park, which has not seen a major renovation in 40 years. Through events such as Landmark Music Festival, the Landmark Campaign plans to educate young people about the rich history and significance of the National Mall to ensure the iconic park will remain standing for future generations.

A limited supply of First-In 2-Day Passes are available now for $100 through tomorrow morning, Wednesday, April 29. Early Bird 2-Day Passes will be available for $150 starting at 10:00am EDT, along with VIP, Platinum and Travel Packages. Visit http://www.landmarkfestival.org/tickets for more information.
