Greetings, Harvest Festival friends!
We are pleased to announce our return to Camp Minglewood in 2008. This marks the third year for us calling it home. As always, the venue is busy operating over the summer, and does not have the ability to take your phone calls or emails. So please remember to contact us for all your needs.
For those of you who have never been to Camp Minglewood: it has many features not usually found at music festivals: indoor theaters, a giant circus pavilion, and beautiful lake and mountain views that are usually at the peak of leaf-changing season on our weekend.
If you HAVE been to either or both of the past two festivals, we have made some changes based on your suggestions, including using the circus pavilion for a lot of the entertainment, and to put vendors in there so vending is all in one area. We've made improvements in the entry/parking/shuttle system, as well as fest-a-cab which will be aided by the enhanced general layout.
Tickets are on sale on our website. There are still a handful of $65 tickets left. Then weekend passes will be $80. Final gate price is still TBA, but it will be over $90. This year we will be unable to offer a student discount at the gate, so students, get your tickets now while they're still discounted! (RV owners: only 40 spaces will be sold for our RV lot at $50 each).
