Music Events

  1. Main Stage
    We have local musicians performing on the main stage from about 10 am to 9:30 pm.  A new performer or band will take the stage about every hour.  We strive for musical diversity, including: folk music, country/western/bluegrass, Christian, rock, classic rock, hard rock, jazz, and blues.  We are not ready to announce this year’s line-up just yet, but we will soon (mid April).

  2. Small Stage
    Our small stage may be smaller, but the performers are just as wonderful!  This stage will keep the audience entertained while we setup the main stage for new performers.  Again, we will announce this year’s line-up soon.

  3. Drum Circles
    If you’ve never joined-in with a drum circle you don’t know what your missing!  These events are deceptively FUN!  Anyone can participate.  We will provide plenty of hand-drum and percussion instruments, or you can bring your own.  Our drum circle facilitator will help everyone find their groove!

  4. Sing-A-Longs
    If you love to sing, then you’ll want to participate in our sing-a-longs.

  5. Music Clinics & Workshops
    Here agin, we are not ready to announce the details, but we will soon!

More details will be announced soon.

Help Wanted!

We always need more volunteers!  For the music events, here are just some of our needs:

  1. Stage setup/tear-down crews

  2. Stage crew to help each performer transport & setup their equipment

  3. Music instructors - if you are willing to instruct a music topic, please contact us (e.g. song writing, instrument instruction, instrument building, kids music fun, etc.)

Please contact us if you are interested. 
Thank you!

Note to Musicians:

If you are a musician and have musical merchandise (e.g. CDs, t-shirts, etc.) you want to sell, here are some guidelines:

  1. For those musicians who are performing on stage at the festival, you may share a booth with other performers to sell your merchandise.  Please contact us and let us know you are coming.  No vendor fees apply.

  2. If you are not performing at the festival, but want to sell your musical merchandise at this festival, then you are welcome as a “vendor”.  Vendor fees and procedures apply.  Please review our “Vendors” page.

Thank you!
