"This is our third annual festival, and we're thrilled that it's become such a special weekend for so many people.  We hope people come out for the entire weekend, soak up the vibes, and enjoy some great music. It's a fantastic lineup - an excellent blend of indie rock legends, bands who haven't performed together in years, and some younger acts making interesting, powerful music."
