Lou Festo entertained thousands throughout his thirty-five plus years as a gifted songwriter and guitarist. After a brave fight, his body succumbed to cancer in 2012. Lou’s spirit lives on in his friends, family and those he inspired.

Each year, the Louis T. Festo Memorial Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to students graduating from Newburyport High School and Timberlane Regional High School. We will also be providing instruments or lessons to a child in need that wants to learn but cannot afford to do so.

Donations can be made by mailing a check or money order to: Louis T, Festo Memorial Scholarship Fund c/o Karen Jortberg 20 Sargent Rd., Sandown NH. 03873. You may also deposit your donation directly at any Citizen’s Bank. Please make your check out to the Louis T. Festo Memorial Scholarship Fund.
