The Land
Gray Maine
New Growth Taking Root In Fertile Soil
Last year, GardenFest proved to everyone who came that it is nothing short of a transformational festival. It is not just a music festival. It is a transformational human experience of community and tribe coming together to celebrate our collective experience. We sing and dance and play, while also working together to support the land, build sustainable structures, and create a safe space for everyone to be themselves and receive the support they need as we move through a weekend of powerful growth and healing.
New Headlining Acts
This year, we are expanding to bring you an even more epic lineup of heart-centered music while adding an art gallery, community meals, and several new transformational workshops, performances, and speakers. There will be a sacred fire each night as well as elders and indigenous wisdom keepers present to help anchor and root the community in our shared values.
Community ValuesGardenFest is a family friendly event and as such there will be no recreational pills, powders, or gasses of any kind permitted. The entire event is also alcohol-free. We emphasize conscious celebration and we invite you to connect with the land, the music, the art, and other people in a safe and responsible way. We can’t wait to see you!!!
Our Earlybird tickets are available until June 21st :)
VENDORS/ARTISTS
We still have space for several more food/beverage trucks, and are actively looking for visual artists for vendors and healing practitioners for the wellness village. The cost for vendors for the weekend is $222 and payment can be sent to Nate Jones on Venmo @nate-jones-1.
Please include your name, vendor name, and description of your offering. We ask that all food vendors use only organic, non-gmo ingredients in the dishes that will nourish our attendees for the weekend.
Kids Zone
This year we will also have a dedicated kids zone where you can take your little ones to rest and recharge. There will be a lineup of kids entertainment including music, workshops, and various activities. In case you'd like to drop your child off and have some personal time, this area will be staffed during the day by sober and responsible individuals who are vetted by our team and dedicated to the wellbeing of the children.
MEALS
This year we are expanding the community kitchen and plan to serve a minimum of 500 meals throughout the weekend. This is no small feat, and our friend Bear from Ancient Healing Paths will be spearheading the operation. Our meals will follow the acronym: S.L.O.W. : Seasonal, Local, Organic, and Wild. We promise that the community kitchen dishes will be as seasonal, as local, as organic, and as wild as possible :)You can purchase one or more meal passes below with your ticket. Plates are available firstly to those who have purchased their passes ahead of time, helping us more accurately forecast. Remaining meals will be sold at $15 per plate at the event.
