Festival Review
We had to battle 2 days of fierce wind and rain and cold, but it was worth it. Most everybody's canopy fell victim to the winds. The venue is nice. The music was good. The vibe was beautiful. Yam Yam was a fun group.

Review
Good Fest, especially if you've seen the Head-liners ekoostik hooka for 30 years in your hood, (I guess). Nothing great there. The setting (and weather) was great, and Keller Williams delivered (as always).

Festival Review
I've been to the last three Getdowns and thoroughly enjoyed the great vibes. Cabinet performed two nights (one unlike the other). They add a trippy dimension to Bluegrass. Very Nice,

Be careful entering and leaving - the State Troopers like to hassle festivalists.
REVIEW
Marvin's Mountaintop is not well suited for a festival, The terrain allows for few flat camping spots, and hills and distances wear you down. Regardless, this was a spectacular festival, The line-up feature jam bands and electronic wizards. Some groups, like Les Special combined both. Two main stages side-by-side with seamless transitions, 2 other "dance / costume" stages for the elves to take selfies. The light and laser shows are spectacular, dozens of artists painting, and flow dancers galore. Cool vibes.
