The nearly month-long festival takes place July 12-26 in the town of Mendocino. Music lovers can enjoy oceanside views with their concerts, as the main concert tent is centered on the Mendocino Headlands, a cliffside park adjacent to the Pacific Ocean.
Additional activities include a children’s day camp, lectures and film screenings, a Cajun/Zydeco gala celebration, dinner parties at local restaurants and more.
Tickets start at $25 and go on sale May 5. More information about tickets can be found on the festival’s website.
