A New Tradition Begins with Heart: The First-Ever Harmonies of Hope Music Festival
One Stage. Multiple Communities. One Mission.
Groveland, MA &mdash; On Sunday, May 17th, something truly special will unfold on the North Shore. The first-ever Harmonies of Hope Music Festival will bring together families, music, and community&mdash;but at its core, this day is about something far deeper than entertainment.
It&rsquo;s about connection,It&rsquo;s about healing. 
And most importantly&mdash;it&rsquo;s about hope. &#128153;
Hosted by SadieLadySecrets.com, this inaugural event will take place at the Pines Recreation Center in Groveland from 12:00 PM to 6:30 PM, creating a space where joy and purpose meet to support Home Base &ndash; Veteran &amp; Family Care for Mental Health.
&#128153;
A Day That Comes from the Heart
Behind every song that will be played and every smile shared is a mission rooted in compassion&mdash;for the men and women who have given so much, and for the families who continue to stand beside them. &ldquo;This event is personal,&rdquo; said Stephanie Chiulli-Guillemette, Founder and Executive Director of SadieLadySecrets.com. &ldquo;So many of our veterans carry stories, struggles, and pain that we don&rsquo;t always see. Mental health battles don&rsquo;t end when the uniform comes off. We wanted to create something that reminds them&mdash;and their families&mdash;that they are never alone.&rdquo;
Through Home Base, a program of the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital, veterans and their loved ones receive life-changing support for post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and the invisible wounds of service.
&ldquo;If even one person feels seen, supported, or hopeful because of this day, then it means everything, also If we can create a reminder that someone cares&mdash;then this event has done its job,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette added. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re doing this.&rdquo;
&#128218;
Inspiring Through Storytelling
The mission behind Harmonies of Hope is deeply connected to the heart of SadieLadySecrets.com, a family-run children&rsquo;s brand built on storytelling, kindness, and community.At the event, families will also be introduced to two powerful new releases: Families will also get to experience new book releases from SadieLadySecrets.com, including &ldquo;Sadie Lady Learns It&rsquo;s OK Not to Be OK&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sadie Lady Honors Our Heroes,&rdquo;
which focus on mental health awareness and honoring those who serve.&ldquo;Our books and our events go hand in hand,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette shared. &ldquo;We believe in starting these conversations early&mdash;with kindness, honesty, and heart. Whether it&rsquo;s mental health or honoring our heroes, these are messages that matter for every generation.&rdquo;


&#127926;
Music That Brings People Together
The festival will feature a full lineup of live entertainment including: 
DJ Fortin, The Visitors, The Chimpz, Diamond Edge, Party On Band, The Foo Family Band, and headliner Andrew McManus Band. Each performance represents more than music&mdash;it&rsquo;s a reminder of the power of coming together.

&#127881;

Powered by a Community That Cares
This first-year event is made possible by the support of incredible sponsors, including Renewal by Andersen, Ben Franklin Print Co., and many local businesses who believe in the mission of giving back.
&ldquo;This event is proof of what can happen when a community comes together,&rdquo; said Chiulli-Guillemette. &ldquo;Our sponsors, vendors, performers, and families are all part of something bigger&mdash;and that&rsquo;s what makes this so special.&rdquo;
&#127775;
The Beginning of Something Bigger
Harmonies of Hope is not just a one-day event&mdash;it&rsquo;s the start of a tradition rooted in compassion, connection, and community impact.&ldquo;This is just the beginning,&rdquo; Chiulli-Guillemette said. &ldquo;We hope this becomes something people look forward to every year&mdash;not just for the music and fun, but for the meaning behind it. Because when we come together with heart, we create hope.&rdquo;
