2 days & 2 stages. That’s a lot to experience! Make your way into the amphitheater in between sets to catch some swag from the t-shirt cannon! Visit the Charles R. Wood “Discovery” Stage, powered by PlugPV, to dance the day away with electrifying artists! Check back for our official festival grounds map to be released closer to the event.
Whether you bring your sidewalk chalk to decorate SPAC’s sidewalks, your hula hoop to show off your skills, or your competitive spirit for playing our lawn games with family & friends, there’s plenty of fun to be had throughout the festival, for all ages.
