Family Friendly
We are proud to be one of the most family-friendly music festivals in the area. A dedicated family camp area, a kid’s music stage, and a huge variety of activities will make this a weekend your family will look forward to each year.
Beautiful Location
Located on the sprawling grounds of the 300+ acres of Circle Pines, festival attendees typically enjoy camping for the weekend or renting one of the onsite cabins. There’s more to do than music!! Take a dip in the lake, go mushroom hunting, explore the trails, or join some of our workshops to learn something new.
