Joshua Tree Music Festival. Some random clips of my time there.

[Sun]

Not the best footage (iphone) but it shows you what The Joshua Tree Music Fesitval is like. I only taped brief segments of some songs and also other random shots. This festival is held twice a year, May and Oct.. Oct is usually a littlle more mellow and more older peeps. The music is a an excellent variety and very good. The setting is AWESOME! If you have a plated bike you can just roll out for a nice cruise from the campground. The campground is 40 acres. I did see some un plated dirt bikes cruising around but I dont know that they would dig you rippin around the boundaries of the festival. I saw a few bikes take off as if they were headed to Pappy and Harriets. People were putting around on bikes, scooters and bicycles from camp to camp and to the venue.
It's a small crowd of about 2500-3000 in a perfect setting all weekend long! It had a really cool vibe you dont get at other venues. no uptight security, you can go barefoot, bring food and drink in....it ROCKED

Perhaps some of you Cali peeps may way to attend this someday. I plan on going back in May or Oct for sure! It is A kick back weekend of partying in the dez listening to some great tunes with cool, down to earth people. My 18 year old Daughter went with us and loved it. I know it may seem waay hippy dippy for some of you but, it really wasnt too bad. Not like a Dead show or Burning Man, yet had that slight feel.

This looks like fun. Is this something that I could just ride my Harley to for a few hours, hang out and go home? My wife would like this.

I don't know SUN, looks and sounds TOO laid back for me ... . Glad you had a good time! It'll only be a matter of time I'm sure when it comes to the bikes...There'll be that1 bad apple that decides to haul ass or kick up a lot of dust and noise causing them to disallow bikes. ... Ya never know

Yes you could. However, it would be better to drive out Saturday morning and spend the night there or in a motel. Part of the greatness are those sunsets with a cold beve

I guess they have had SOME issues. I think in May when the crowd was larger and younger. I see this festival growing until it is not the same anymore. That is what makes it so cool now, it's small and off the map for the most part.
