David Holodiloff Medical Fund Benefit Festival Set For Thanksgiving Weekend In Pacific Grove
Former Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival & Brookdale Bluegrass Festival performer David Holodiloff has recently encountered over $20,000 in medical expenses.
The Holofest acoustic music festival will be held on Thanksgiving Weekend to benefit his medical fund. The three-day event will run Friday, November 29-Sunday, December 1, 2024. Multi-instrumentalist Holodiloff plays all kinds of music, including bluegrass, and this event will reflect his wide-ranging acoustic tastes.
Dave recently underwent an unexpected series of four surgical procedures on his knee, resulting in a debilitating staph infection, hospitalization, various medical treatments, and ongoing physical therapy. This ordeal has put an immeasurable strain on Dave’s musical career and finances.
There is no admission charge, but donations will be welcomed. The program will be held at the Pacific Grove Meetinghouse, 599 Lighthouse Avenue
Pacific Grove, CA 93950. Many bands will perform. Hours: FRIDAY & SATURDAY: 10:00am-8:00pm, SUNDAY: 10:00am-2:00pm.
Plans are underway to stream the event. Online donations are also accepted:
