"festival" or "fair" because it is primarily a community based gathering for folks to share their love of
music, nature, and handmade/homemade/farm raised/folk life culture, and it is a grass roots event that will
grow over time. Events will take place between 12pm-8pm daily, with overnight camping and jamming at
campsites all night long. Certain areas will offer quiet camping as well. Email us at
info@crookedriverarts.org or visit our website for more info!
