A Green Music Festival ~ Are you booked for July 4th???

If you are interested in doing something different for this coming 4th of July celebration, we have an New Approach to a musical festival for you her in West Michigan. In tiny Rothbury, Michigan, they are making music history and tying it in a big green ribbon. Do you remember Woodstock? It will have similar music offerings, over 100 bands, artists, and acts, featuring The Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, 311, Modest Mouse, Snoop Dogg, and Widespread Panic to name a few, but will have a green sustainable focus.

The promoters are centering the Festival at the Double JJ Ranch & Golf Resort, which is on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Shelby. The Double JJ Ranch offers lakes, beach fronts, trails, forests, fields, and even onsite lodging, bars, and restaurants.

This is no ordinary Music Festival, they also plan on having:

An onsite Think Tank with innovative leaders in the Green movement in a round table discussion to plan and pursue saving our environment.

A Circus & Theatre where the show comes off the stage and engages more than a few of your senses - the run-in with a busker, a formal affair in the lounge of The Establishment, an unexpected aerial performance in the tree tops...

An Energy Fair: Visit the Energy Fair to enjoy a flurry of scheduled and surprise activities, test drive some new wheels with bleeding edge new technology, plus food and drink, vending, performances, presentations, contests and interactive opportunities, and so much more.

A New World Cabaret Experience: ROTHBURY's bold and bawdy spot to get your fix of vaudeville croquet and smart, eclectic entertainment in a bizarre artisto-twistic atmosphere. Scheduling is still being confirmed.

The Tripolee Dome:with a chill out bar and lounge, yoga instructions, Earth harp classes, and more.

Also including: E Town, Yoga Program, and The Big Gig Open Mic Stage:

The early tickets go on sale today, February 27th for the Rothbury Music Festival!!

Summer will be here soon, this sounds like an event you won't want to miss, if I can get Terry off the golf

course for one weekend we might have a " Rothbury Experience."

This must be what the Woodsctock-age boomers evolved to. Like Woodstock, but green and with bathrooms! And some guy on the stage announcing, "Dude, there's some bad hemp going around. It's in the T-shirts with the rain forest design."

Karen you cracked me up with this observation!! I can just see it. Green and with bathrooms is an improvement, hey? Oddly enough, there are a whole lot of similarities between the 60's and this latest generation of young adults. This event sounds really fun to me.

Snoop Dogg at a green music festival, what a surprise! lol - I love Snoop Dogg. You're making me want to take a trip to Michigan!

Bonnie, That sounds like a blast and a good learning experience, I hope you are able to go and sure wish I could!

Can I bring the fireworks as a certified firebug I could have fun in Northern Michigan in the summer If the fire is big enough I might get national attention. OK I'll go if you want to.

Chris: I really would like to go. I don't know if you clicked on Rothbury Experience but they did a really nice job on laying out the website. They are offering free attendance if you come & work the event. They will need lots of workers to keep the "trash" picked up and being green is a lot more labor intensive than just carting the trash away.

Bonnie...Our wedding anniversary is July 4th, each and every year. You would be amazed at how many places, all across the country, celebrate the event with us. Oh, and the birth of our country's independence also.

Cheers,

Kathleen

Carole, I would like to attend, you have to buy a ticket for all 4 days, I'm not sure I can withstand that much fun. I am a night person, maybe I should try.

TW: M 80's and cherry bombs are probably not considered "green" even at a rock concert - I know, you want to go for the yoga instructions. Can you make it 4 days without golf?

Kathleen: We will be sure to set off a few extra fireworks just for you and your wedding anniversary on the 4th!!

Bonnie! We are usually marching down Wrightsville Beach with flags to the drum beat of the national anthem... We're so old fashioned I'm not sure we are hip enough for this! I personally think it will be a GREAT time for all!!! Congrats!

Hi Bonnie - this sounds like it will be a great festival! Did I hear they sold out already?

Eleanor: It does sound like a great time - oh, to be 21 again.

Mary: The early bird tickets are sold out but I'm sure there are some tickets still available.
