🌞 Summer Solstice Shakedown 🌞
June 20–22 | A Weekend of Music, Art, Play, & Community
*full schedule TBA
Join us for a joyful, grounded celebration of the summer solstice with camping, playing, dancing, live music, DJs, and authentic community connection—set in nature and held with intention.
THIS IS NOT A RAVE! *if you’re looking to just party and stay up all night, this isn’t for you. (Our desire is to keep the event small, intimate, and safe)
We’d prefer folks joining during the day-time. Collectively making connections, settling into the space, and with a common goal to leave feeling nourished, and not depleted.
🎶 Local musicians and artists bringing vibrant, heartfelt performances
🎧 Funky, fun DJs on a professional sound system to keep the groove alive (ending around midnight on Friday and Saturday)
🌀 Creative expression, late-night jam circles, and spontaneous magic
This isn’t just an event—it’s a gathering rooted in shared values of respect, care, creativity, and connection.
🌱 Pre-Event Community Cleanup
Before the festivities, we’re dedicating time to clean and restore a beautiful local spot. We’ll be gathering on Thursday, June 19 to begin a cleanup of abandoned garbage, including the removal of hazardous materials and a couple of abandoned RVs. Your help is crucial in restoring this area to its natural beauty.
Cleanup Schedule:
Thursday, June 19: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Friday, June 20: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
If you're unable to contribute financially, we highly encourage you to join us and put in some hours for the cleanup. Every bit of help makes a difference.
💰 Support the Cleanup Effort
We're setting up a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for the cleanup. Your donations will help cover costs for equipment, disposal, and other necessary materials to restore the area. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
