Entertainment & Activities
Music, Theater, & Active Art
You will be entertained!
Join us for a full lineup of local and national musical talent on our beautiful main stage under the redwoods. At the Children's Grove, you’ll find delightful performances and family activities to share with your budding artists. And do not miss the community Art Project! Find details and schedules below.
About our Main Stage Programming
Drawing on deep roots in the local arts community, the Mainstage has featured performers spanning generations, genres, and backgrounds—from emerging youth artists to legendary icons, and from bluegrass to rock, reggae, Latin, funk, soul, and beyond.
Our approach to booking reflects the spirit of an arts festival—not a street fair or club showcase. We focus on eclectic, original, primarily local artists who mirror the diversity, creativity, and quality found throughout the festival’s artist booths.
The result is a Mainstage lineup that celebrates artistic excellence, originality, and the vibrant creative community surrounding us.
