The Banana's Mission

Our Mission is to spread joy and happiness through music and art.

At its core, The People’s Banana is intended to be a project for all. The friends and community of The People’s Banana is comprised of a wide range of people, many from marginalized groups. We hope to reflect our community and values in our operations, making it easier for all to exist happily and safely in this world.

The team has volunteered time to other organizations doing good in the world, as a way to say thank you for money raised, and will continue to do so. We hope to have positive impact wherever we go, bringing with us joy, laughter, equality, and a damned good time.
