Special Features in 2023

Performers and Solar Stage

This year's festival will have a stage and audio system that is powered by solar energy! You may have seen this stage at Outside Lands music festival, in a nearby park, or other community festival. The stage will be a sight you will not want to miss! Detailed lineup of performers coming soon!

Thank you to Silicon Valley Clean Energy for bringing the stage to the festival this year.

Food Trucks and Reusable Dishware

Three food trucks will be attending this year's festival. In an effort to reduce waste and align with our zero waste goals, we have partnered with Sparkl Reusables to provide reusable bowls, plates and utensils for our food trucks to serve customers. After you are done eating, you can return the dishes to a marked booth.

Please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle. Plastic water bottles will not be available for purchase at this event. We will have water refill stations.
