But we’re still here; still free to live life; free to be artists, without being told how to live; free to create art and stay viable in the world today.”

In addition to the music on 9+ stages, FloydFest attendees can expect offerings from vibrant and varied vendors, quality craft brews and chews, healing arts, workshops and whimsy, children’s activities, onsite art installations and more. A variety of ticket packages are on sale now here.
