History

The festival was founded in 2005 with the intention of giving the people of Wrightwood a summer music event in the evenings and to provide free quality entertainment in a unique and beautiful mountain setting. It also provides an opportunity to showcase new styles of music not usually seen in the regular venues around town.[1] The festival features local, regional, and national acts performing on its Main Stage and Singer-Songwriter stages.[2] In addition to two days of non-stop music, the festival has local crafts and food vendors on site.[3]
