This yearly Summer Solstice celebration creates a virtual global village where people gather in a beautiful setting to enjoy a diverse lineup of new and legendary artists from around the world.
How does three days of music performed on two stages, convenient camping, an eclectic group of ethnic food and cultural craft vendors, fire dance troupes, fun and educational children's activities feel? The first two days conclude with an authentic late- night Jamaican-style dancehall session where artists often make an encore appearance with the DJ's.
