The tribute band Bon Journey, known for its blend of classics from rock icons Bon Jovi and Journey, is headlining the inaugural Sunny Side Up Festival, a fundraiser for the Rockingham Harrisonburg SPCA.

The Saturday, May 9, festival is being held on the grounds of Alpine Goat Brewery in Weyers Cave, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“This festival is a celebration of music, community, and of course, family and friends. By supporting this event and purchasing a ticket, you show your compassion and generosity,” said Huck Nawaz, executive director of the RHSPCA. “Every ticket sold helps us continue our mission to support animals in need, and we’re grateful to bring people together for a cause that makes a huge difference for the animals and our community.”

Tickets are $10 now, with prices set to increase to $15 starting March 27, and they will be $20 at the gate.
