The One Family Gathering will be a three day unity gathering near Christmas Valley, Oregon. The festival intends to unify a variety of cultures from many other peaceful gatherings. It will manifest as a weekend long event encompassing barter fairs, music festivals, parties, and reggae shows, surrounded by a free camping area. This event has a focus slightly different from other festivals. We will provide a large, secure vendor section inside the event in addition to hosting two stages: a "party" tent with nonstop djs, hosted by DJ4NORML crew and the main "Quetzalcoatl" stage. Both stages will have a dynamic array of musicians performing twenty-four hours a day throughout the event. Featured musicians will include Minimal Control, Deep Sleep Narcotics Company, Dj Reazen, Earth DescenDance, Jack Burton, Ceraphim, Jimmy Rigga, Pressure Suit, Square Wail, Miss Dra, Doughboy, DJ Eff, Timmy, Miss Min.D, Aquarius, Mechanize, DJ Manatea, DJ Owns, Electrick Avenue, Ben Inya, Richie Rich, DJ Kai, Owtbrake, Kid Amiga, Stylus, Aerel, James Renegade, DJ Harlo, Brandon Plank, Full On, Gabriel, Sighnyde, Hara Isis, Quickster, Rambo DJ, Just John, Dash Exp, Tremor, Durbin, The Dub What?, Blister Agent, Ambience, Ben's Jazz Kit, Bijhan, Cosmos Worth, Daphine, Eric Fridrich, Fiddlin Big Al, HannaH*s Field, Herbert Friendly Trio, Hippinshlog, Jahson Ites, Essential I, Dj Sticky Huckelberry, Jensen, Joel Blackstone, Katy Turner, Laurianne, Matt Zeltzer, Naugahyde Nights, Norman Baker, Pirex, Puget Sound System, Rat City Ruckus, Renegade Minstrels, SpiritMoon, The Repair, The Ronz, Tommy Dean, Tyler Spencer Solo Didjeridu, Wehrwolve, Midnight Ramblers, Dag, Basin and Range, Serious De Witness, Jah Shiloh, Singing Bear, John Butler Project, and First Name Michael; with more groups signing up daily.

I moved to Missouri from the desert in Ca., I was surrounded by famous artists who just did not jam around town. Although I did hear a garage band practicing down the street from my house one night, only to discover it was the Beach Boys playing a private party.But I'm sorry some parts of this summer in the midwest were just too darn hot. But these I enjoyed and recommend. Dogstock in Kansas, 4 stages for 4 days unbelievable # of bands new and old. Zoe (schwagstock) south central missouri an awesome experience Mushroom festival central missouri new event that was good last year and should be better this year. All had good music, good campin, good people, and reasonable prices. I have stopped attending the cattle drives of the money grubbers. older and slower, but still havin fun. watchin the rivers roll on and on. missin all those who've gone on before. I'll wait to hear the jam, when I go through that door. yet I imagine the combinations as I go through my chores. Take care everyone.

THERE AIN'T NOTHING LIKE A GRATEFUL GARCIA GATHERING, AND WE ARE GOING TO BE CELEBRATING OUR 5TH ANNIVERSARY AT LEGEND VALLEY! (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center) OHIO JULY 31ST, AUGUST 1ST, & AUGUST 2ND 2008" ((( THANKS TO STEVE TRICKLE AND HIS HUGE FAMILY))) *NEWS* The new home for the Grateful Garcia Gathering is now at Legend Valley, just 20 minutes East of Columbus Ohio! We are totally excited about this great move to Legend Valley just for the fact that the Grateful Dead actually graced the venue with a few performances: Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center)-June 25, 1988, Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center)-June 9, 1991, Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center)-July 1, 1992, Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center)-June 11, 1993, Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center)-July 29, 1994, plus, Bob Weir and Ratdog performed 7 years ago (May 26th 2000) to a smiling crowd of over 15,000 fans! For those of you who have never visited Legend Valley, let me advice you on something. The parking lot/s are fields. Deadbase claims Legend Valley holds around 40,000 festival goers. We feel it holds more! Legend Valley's (formerly Buckeye Lake Music Center in Ohio) owner Steve Trickle, has been in contact with the organizers of the Grateful Garcia Gathering since last January 2007 about the possibility's of holding the Grateful Garcia Gathering at Legend Valley, a place where the Grateful Dead performed many times before in past years. This would be the natural setting for the Grateful Garcia Gathering to be held each summer. The agreement was made by a mere handshake, and a smile! The 3G's is always set to date on the weekends between Jerry Garcia's birthday August 1st, and his untimely passing of August 9th. The Grateful Garcia Gathering is scheduled for Jerry Garcia's birthday weekend of July 31st - August 2nd 2008. Legend Valley is Ohio's NUMBER 1 camping, and music outdoor amphitheater. Its also been home to Hookahville, Cabin Fever Festival, and Built to Last festies. Many great artists have graced the stages at Legend Valley such as The Grateful Dead, Ratdog, Bruce Hornsby, David Grisman, Arlo Guthrie, Ekoostik Hookah, Blue Travelers, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, AC/DC, Waylon Jennings, just to name a few! Finding your way to the Valley is pretty easy. Legend Valley Concert Venue and Campground is located just off I-70 in Thornville Ohio, about 25 miles east of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Driving time from some major cities like: New York City: 8.5 hours. Pittsburgh: PA: 3 hours. Chicago, IL: 6 hours. Washington DC: 6 hours. Cleveland, OH: 2.5 hours. Cincinnati, OH: 2.5 hours. Detroit, MI: 4 hours. Columbus, OH: 20 minutes. All of us are united to help keep the spirit of Jerry Garcia alive forever! The Deadhead community is still strong as its ever been. Thus, the music of Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead (and all of the suriving members), and the Jerry Garcia Band (and all of the surving members) will never be forgotten! It will be our target goal, to invite each surving member/s of the Grateful Dead and/or the Jerry Garcia Band to perform with their band at some point in the future, on our main stage. They were there for us, and now, we're here for them!!! ~The 3G's Staff~ Early Bird Tickets for the Grateful Garcia Gathering go on sale January 1st 2008. The 3G's is growing each summer, and as it does, its getting more exciting! Plus, the 3G's has always been about Jerry Garcia's music, art, fans, and his spirit!

my faves are gathering of the vibes and nelson ledges love the vibes been doin that since forever just got to nelson ledges this past summer and swam in that quarrya and it was great as was the music at both festivals

grateful fest rocks-went from 2000 to 2003-the shower's up by the front gate, shhhh!-always a great line up-go a day early & stay a day late to avoid the overzealous types w/the flashing lights in garrettsville-NLQP's gotten a little off w/the cleveland thug types, lets get some Family there for it to be the place it's meant to be-maybe even some of the old WC?

did I spell that right? Labor Day in Ohio? who's going, besides me?

I went to this festival 4 years in a row, with the exception of this past year (sadly). All I can say is that this festival has never let me down. It is great. The vibe is by far the chillest "heady" experience around. The staff and audience alike are really cool. It doesn't always get the "biggest" acts, but I think that is part of what makes it sweet. Firstly, you are likely to see bands that you might not normally see, but love. Secondly, it helps keep it getting blown out and huge. It is also in a great location in the California Sierras. Simply put, a wonderful time!

..It is on 5 stages. One very small (GE Smith), one medium (Rosanne Cash) and 3 very big (Willie).
