We are bringing back Tie-Dye Saturday this time as well! Join the Faheys for a colorful and creative experience at their popular tie-dye concession, which will be open throughout the weekend. Browse unique handmade jewelry and leather crafts from Lilly Pond Designs or grab a refreshing drink from School House Brewery, both onsite all weekend. When you’re feeling hungry, treat yourself to delicious offerings from Walker’s food concession or satisfy your sweet tooth at Sarah’s Sweet Shop. More vendors and surprises will be announced soon!
Beyond the music, the venue itself is a highlight. Relax on the 800-foot private beach, try your hand at fishing for striped bass, or cool off at the nearby Kempt Quarry—a perfect spot for swimming, kayaking, and family fun. The campground offers both serviced and non-serviced camping options, with flush toilets and free showers available on-site to ensure your comfort throughout the weekend.
