The Fourth Annual Patrick Davis Hope Town Songwriters Festival will be held February 16 - 21, 2016, at locations on Elbow Cay and Lubber’s Quarters Cay.
The festival will take place over six days at six one-of-a-kind venues with more than 15 talented Nashville-based singer/songwriters. Locations include Firefly Sunset Resort, Harbour’s Edge Restaurant, Abaco Inn, Sea Spray Resort and Marina, Hope Town Inn and Marina, and Lubbers’ Landing Resort.

But it’s not just a good time, it’s for a great cause. The festival is proud to announce that they will once again donate a portion of festival proceeds to the Hope Town Primary School and they will also make a donation to the very important Friends of the Environment Abaco. Last year's festival donated more than $10,000 to Hope Town Primary’s music program; with that donation the talented students were able to attain brand new instruments for the creation of their very own Junkanoo Band. There will be a live auction during one of the events where the funds will be raised.
The 2016 festival sponsors include: Airgate Aviation, which will be providing flights to the performers, all music venues, Abaco Buzz and the Bahamian Brewery makers of Sands, Sands Light, Strong Back Stout, High Rock Lager, Bush Crack Beer and Triple B Malt.
