Early Bird & VIP (friend) trickets for

In and Out the Garden We Go ~ June 15 & 16 2012

“been here so long, we got to calling it home”

A celebration of the Deadhead community!  We are lucky in this part of the
country to have so many local bands that pay tribute to the music of the
Grateful Dead & Jerry Garcia. Once again, Music at Snipes Farm has extended
an invention for a few of these acts to come together to share their music
on the Farm. We hope you will come and join us for this family campout.

Thanks to all the support for this event Music at Snipes Farm have decided to move the Festival to the Big Field & the Big Stage. This will also bring changes in some bold new ways & a whole new look.   We look forward to sharing this
with you.
