Our beautiful pavilion lit up with a wonderful Main Stage lineup of diverse folk & roots music beginning Friday night at 6pm, and resuming Saturday at 3pm, following our first ever Sycamore Song Circle beneath the enormous creekside tree. We were thrilled to welcome our neighbors at Endhardt Vineyards and their award-winning wines. The late night songwriter circles and campfire jams went until the wee hours for anyone to participate or simply enjoy. If you missed it, you can enjoy all 11 hours of Main Stage performances right now from anywhere in the world!
