Thanks in advance to all the festival supporters and especially for the generous financial support from title sponsors Gila House Hotel / Gallery 400 and Prudential Silver City Properties.

This was a well-attended word-of-mouth conscious community event last year, and we are expecting a sell-out for 2006.  Get to the festival early to get a good camping spot on-site.  Overflow camping is available near the venue.  Bring your own alcohol and plenty of water for this three-day wilderness music festival.  Food and merchandise vendors will be present to serve festival goers on-site.

Come early Friday and stay late Sunday. Enjoy the Fall in the Gila.  Make new friends.
