What a beautiful weekend it is going to be for camping and music, and the place to be this weekend is the Farm To Family Full Moon Festival on a nice shady piece of paradise near Ginnie Springs, outside Gainesville. Gate price is only $35!
This little grassroots camping fest is family friendly, has just one stage and some nice vendors, including the hard-working Grilled Cheese Wagon, and area artists and crafters. You can bring your beverage of choice, and the folks and music are wonderful. Primitive camping is free and electric and water RV sites cost $80 for the weekend.
This is a recurring festival with folk, bluegrass, jam, jazz, and world-beat acts. What I like best is that you get there, set out your chairs and your cooler, and that's it. No decisions to make between this performance or that -- we're all watching the same thing. No chores to do. Just listen, visit, and have fun.
The headliner Friday night is the incomparable Nashville singer songwriter Verlon Thompson . Other acts include jazzy-jammy kLOB, de Lions of Jah, Brian Smalley, The Jesse Smith Project with Hannah Barber, Quartermoon, and hellacious up-and-coming pickers Uproot Hootenanny.
Here's a nice video of Verlon Thompson:
