Welcome! Greetings music lovers and WELCOME to the 29th Annual High Sierra Music Festival. What makes High Sierra so special is that everyone truly brings their “A GAME” to High Sierra, the best versions of themselves – starting with the musicians, on down to the staff and production crews, the vendors and volunteers, to the Quincy community and the patrons! It’s such an amazing aggregate of people and passion, and we’re grateful to all for making it happen! We hope you thoroughly enjoy the weekend while practicing self-care. Please stay hydrated! Thanks to our friends at Klean Kanteen, we have filtered drinking water stations conveniently located throughout the fairgrounds and it’s FREE! (check the festival map in the center of this booklet for locations of the Hydration Stations). If you’re an experienced High Sierra festivarian we consider you an ambassador of the festival and one who upholds the high standard that you have helped set with regard to being “kind neighbors and good people.” We thank you for honoring the unwritten FESTIQUETTE code! (See Festival Guidelines towards the back of this booklet for some specific dos and don’ts.) There’s so much to take in at High Sierra besides the four daytime stages and after midnight venues, so go at a pace that suits you, and if you just feel like relaxing at your campsite you can tune in to Grizzly Radio to listen to what’s happening on stage (see this booklet for station frequencies). Nourish yourself with tasty treats from a wide array of food vendors, shop for yourself or a loved at one of our creative crafts vendor booths, take a young one over to the Family Village, enjoy a swim at Pioneer pool out by Shady Grove, recharge with a yoga or Pilates class, or sample some delicious wine and beer at the High Sierra Swirl – our daily late afternoon beer and wine tasting adjacent to the food court in the Tulsa E. Scott Building. While you’re charting your course to check out the acts you know and love make sure you leave room to see some acts you’ve never seen before, because one of the deep joys of High Sierra is the DISCOVERY! Also, please visit and support the non-profit groups, they work hard to make a difference in the world. However you choose to spend your time here at High Sierra, we wish you a fantastic and memorable experience and hope you’ll return to be with us again next year as we celebrate our 30th Annual! With love and appreciation, The High Sierra Festival Family 3.
