GOSEHN, Ind. -- The Center for Healing & Hope announced its fifth annual "Festival of Hope" will take place on Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. at Goshen Brewing Company.

The free event will feature food and beverages, live musical acts, children’s activities, vendors, a mechanical bull, and more.

Food and drink vendors will include Goshen Brewing Company, Tropicana Ice Cream Shop, Diana’s Dulces, and Hay Huey Mexican food truck.

Organizers say Goshen Brewing Company will be offering a special beer release, named "Thirst Aid Kit," at the festival with part of the proceeds being donated to CHH.

Live performances will include the Ballet Folklórico las Guadalupano, Grupo Marca Grande, and headliner Lalo Cura.

"There is something for everyone at Festival of Hope," says CHH Director of Marketing and Development and festival planner Daniel Tackett. "Whether you're getting your face painted, dancing on the lawn to some tunes, or just coming by to enjoy good food and drink, there are opportunities for everyone to have a memorable experience. In return we get to raise critical funds and awareness for our mission while connecting with people in the community who may be able to utilize our services."

Organizers say the festival serves as CHH's Day of Giving, and a goal has been set to raise $35,000 to sustain the affordable healthcare services for the uninsured and immigrant advocacy programs that CHH offers.

 There will be opportunities to donate onsite, online, or mail in contributions to CHH at P.O. Box 195 Goshen, IN 46527.

Goshen Brewing Company is located at 315 W. Washington St.
