FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Coast-Fest Selects Falmouth Homelessness Charity “Belonging to Each Other” as Charity Partner for 2025 Festival
FALMOUTH, MA — June 20, 2025 — Coast-Fest, Falmouth’s signature local music festival, announced today that $1 from every ticket sold to this year’s festival will be donated to Belonging to Each Other (BTEO), a Falmouth-based nonprofit dedicated to providing housing and support to individuals experiencing homelessness in the community.
Coast-Fest, held annually on the Cape Cod coast, brings together music lovers, local food vendors, and artists for a celebration of community and creativity. The festival has grown into one of the area’s most beloved summer events, attracting both residents and visitors to Falmouth’s scenic shores. This year’s event will take place on Saturday August 2 at Falmouth Marina Park and is headlined by Crooked Coast and Joe Samba, along with Greg Loftus, The Wolff Sisters, Kotoko Brass, Monica Rizzio, Jim Decatur, and Mighty Ceej.
In an effort to give back to the local community, Coast-Fest is partnering with BTEO to support BTEO’s critical mission: BTEO works year-round to provide safe housing, compassionate care, and transitional support to homeless individuals in Falmouth, with the goal of helping them move toward permanent housing and stability.
“At Coast-Fest, our mission has always been rooted in celebrating the unique spirit of Falmouth. Partnering with Belonging to Each Other is a natural extension of that commitment. This incredible organization provides both temporary and long-term housing to those experiencing homelessness right here in our town. The Falmouth community gives so much to make this festival possible, and we’re proud to give back by supporting a cause that uplifts our neighbors and strengthens the sense of belonging that makes Falmouth so special.”
— Matt Manchester, Coast-Fest Producer
“Belonging to Each Other, Inc. (BTEO) is honored to be selected as the Coast-Fest 2025 charity partner for this year’s event. This family fun day of music, food and art brings a sense of community and belonging to all the residents of Falmouth and beyond. It melds perfectly with BTEO’s mission to help our Falmouth neighbors in their transition from homelessness to stable housing by providing loving care and support in the form of transitional housing, meals, transportation and guidance.”
-Gina Torielli, Executive Director BTEO
This partnership highlights a shared commitment to community well-being and social responsibility. Coast-Fest organizers encourage attendees to join them in supporting this vital cause simply by showing up and enjoying the festival, but you can also help BTEO with their mission further by donating directly as well.
