lIVE MUSIC
We assemble a top notch lineup of premier musicians on two distinct stages.

VENDORS
Interact with carefully curated craft, product and service vendors in an open-air market! All of our eco-conscious vendors are sustainable businesses that are committed to supporting our ZERO WASTE efforts.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Our food and beverage vendors share the vision of serving healthy, sustainability-produced local foods and unique craft foods and beverages. We are a ZERO-waste festival. We compost all food waste, cutlery and paper goods. All serving products are compostable. No single-use plastic or aluminum wraps can be given to festival attendees. This includes condiments, bags, straws, cutlery, water bottles, portion cups, etc. To ensure compliance with our zero-waste policy, a waste audit will be conducted by New Terra Compost prior to the event.
ON-SITE CAMPING
RV and primitive sites are available at Goose Pond Colony Resort, as well as Eco Camp! This low-impact camping experience includes a 2-day festival pass, three catered meals, and a generous tent site located within the main programming area of the Festival. (Each Eco Camp ticket admits one person.) Limited availablity!
Eco Campers must be willing to adopt a Leave No Trace ethos.
Support our ZERO WASTE commitment! Each camping area has access to composting and recycling. ONLY USE certified compostable products with the BPI logo. Local recyclers can’t guarantee plastic utensils, plates, or cups will be recycled (even if they’re Plastic #1 or #2). We CAN guarantee that compostable products, disposed of in onsite compost collection stations, will be turned back into soil!
Invocation & Closing Ceremony
We call the directions and invite the energies of the North, East, South and West to join us during these time-honored group ceremonies. During our 2023 gathering, Chikomo Marimba co-founder, Steve Kemble, led the Invocation to gather people and set the stage for the weekend. Followed by Jacquelyn Howard and a group of dancers offering mycelium-inspired original dance. Scott Houston and Maya Lemberg, Sol Dance co-founders, led the closing ceremony to conclude the Festival.
inspired by NATURE
Each year, we choose a threatened species or mythical creature to serve as a source of inspiration. In 2021, we selected the monarch butterfly. A creature that’s fragile and small, yet also powerful and resilient. In 2023, the regenerative network of mycelium served as the Nature Totem to guide and inform the Festival. What will the nature totem be for the 2025 Fest?
