You can still hit up mammoth this summer and have an adventure, minus the powder and dropping temperatures. Mammoth's festival, Mammoth Blue Sky Fest, is centered around musical diversity, healthy living, creative documentaries, and other activities, all crammed into four days at Mammoth Lakes, from August 12-15.
This is the second year the festival will be held and will highlight living eco-consciously while taking place in the great outdoors, right next to the pines and extensive backdrops. It'll begin Friday, August 12, with free daytime activities that include guided mountain bike tours and hikes, yoga and fitness sessions, kayaking demos, healthy cooking and gardening demonstrations, and your ever-so-friendly ranger talks. No, Yogi Bear won't be hosting.
Blue Sky Music Fest will feature almost every genre: rock, reggae, funk, jazz, surf, and hip hop. It'll kick off with Thursday's World Beat Dance Party and a free concert provided by Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars. Other artists include Ozomatli, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Soulive, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Iration, The Holdup, and Top Shelf.
Tickets can be purchased at www.vallitix.com or by phone at 888-825-5485. You can also visit the Mammoth Lake Brewing Company's Tasting Room to purchase tickets. Advance 2-day music fest tickets (Friday and Saturday) are $55 a pop, and single day tickets are $35. Children under the age of 10 have free admission with a paid adult.
It's mantra is appropriate, "Live well. Move your feet. Feel the beat. Get outdoors."
