The fact that IndieFest has been able to not only continue, but grow in the current economic crisis, is testimony to the community of artists, thinkers, activists and renegade businesses that passionately believe in the power of art and small business- and all the innovation and dogged perseverance inherent within.

 
This year, IndieFest continues its tradition of teaming up with some of the most invaluable entities in San Diego and beyond, including Results, The Storefront, Urban Corps,
Head North, San Diego LGBT Community Center, Tariq Khamisa Foundation, San Diego Foundation for Change, Eveoke Dance Theatre, The Women's History Museum, Surfrider Foundation, San Diego Youth Services and many more.
 
IndieFest is a family friendly, all ages, non-profit project of Results Educational Fund, and is the brainchild of San Diego-based indie record companies Say It Records and Champ Records, owned by Danielle LoPresti and Alicia Champion respectively.
