No need to lie to your parents anymore about attending the festival, kids. Also new is FYF Fest’s “Save Our State Parks” awareness campaign that it's using to bring attention to the recent $14.2 million budget cut by Gov. Schwarzenegger to the California State Park System, which has brought over 100 parks to the brink of closing down. More information on the park situation can be found [here. Additionally, FYF Fest is promising to donate $1 of every ticket to two different community-based organizations: Homeboy Industries and Harvest of Hope.
