We take great pride in the food served at Music and Sky that is included with your ticket purchase.  It is one of the elements that makes this event so special as we all sit down to eat together.  We are sourcing our protein this year from Harvest Gathering Farm which is a local organic/holistic farm.  You can see the entire menu here!

We also take the quality of our drinking water very seriously.  This is why we partnered with Rainge Spring Water to pipe in only the best quality magnesium spring water into all of our drinking stations!

We are anticipating warm to hot days and cool’ish nights.  This is peak summer so please bring covering if you are sensitive to the heat.  The location has a lot of shade and cooling misters for peak of the day.
