A Couple More Fests Coming Up!



A few folks contacted me about Monday's post -- my giant rundown of fests coming up in April and May -- and pointed out a couple I missed. Thanks guys, the music fun just keeps multiplying!

Here are the ones festgrrl readers pointed out to me:

The DoDajam takes place this weekend -- April 20-24 -- at Etowah River Campground, in Dahlonega, Georgia, about an hour north of Atlanta. This is a camping festival, in its first year. They have 50 acts listed on their website, including New Riders of the Purple Sage, Yonrico Scott Band, the Lee Boys, and more. They will have four stages, and the river is available for swimming.

Tickets are $20 a day. Print out this coupon to get the $20 per day price. Kids under 11 are free, ages 12 - 15 are $25.

They also have various a la carte parking and camping fees, listed below:
Gate Rate + Campground Fee of $10
Parking $5 per auto and per utility trailer
Car Camp Parking inside Venue $15.
RV/Trailer Pass - $100 plus optional $150 for water & power hook-up payable to the venue.

Jambando happens this weekend in at the Plaza Theater in Orlando with Railroad Earth headlining. This is not a camping fest  -- it is a one-day, all-ages, four-stage concert and light show with a bar and vendors. Tickets are $12.

Sunfest  happens in downtown West Palm Beach April 27-May 1. This is not a camping fest, and it is a  giant one -- some 27,000 people attended last year. Tickets are $60 for a 5-day pass (kids under 13 are $20), plus there are single-day and other options. Performers include Jason Mraz, The Avett Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, Gregg Allman, Cee Lo Green, Jeff Beck, Styx, MGMT, Bobby Lee Rodgers, and more.
