How SNWMF attendees can participate in greening:
Car Pool! Don't come alone! Save gas and reduce carbon emissions.
Bring your own water bottle.
Leave no trace at your music listening spot or at your campsite.
Never put recycling in the trash. It's better to leave it beside the
can. SNWMF's green team will dispose of it soon.
When packing for SNWMF, pack reusable to-go ware (plates, utensils,
cups) and your own reusable, refillable water bottles.
Bring your own plate and utensils when visiting the Food Vendors.
SNWMF's sumptuous food vendors are prepared to serve on your own
plate. If not, start with the green can when you've finished your
meal.

 The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival
promotes "conscious" music. Conscious music is music with a message of peace,
unity and brotherhood, which transcends the divisions of race and culture.
Over the past
fourteen
years we have endeavored to build a community where Conscious music, Roots music, World
music is embraced. Where bringing diverse people from many lands together in celebration
yields more than just the sum of each individual present, but something much grander. At SNWMF people experience a unique sense of unity and belonging, a semi-utopian moment in
time where love, generosity, joy and innocence can be reclaimed. We believe that music has
the power to move mountains and change paradigms, and the phenomenal artists who have
graced SNWMF stages over the past decade have imparted an overwhelmingly Positive force.
Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult. The Sierra Nevada World
Music Festival offers a Family Camp area and an extensive program of children's activities
throughout the weekend - including dance and music workshops, songfests, storytelling,
arts and crafts, sports and other entertainment. Camping is an integral part of the
Festival because it provides affordable accommodations for ticket buyers, many of whom are
families with young children.
With beautiful streaming colors and exotic aromas, the Festival Village is an active
marketplace of food and craft booths. The vendors are hand picked to provide an exciting
array of international cuisine and arts. The 2008 Festival Village will be offering foods,
crafts and art from such places as Indonesia, West Africa, Jamaica, Ethiopia and India. We
welcome the input of nonprofit organizations, and over two dozen organizations,
representing a range of environmental and social issues, will be tabling at the Festival,
as well as registering voters.
Created through the collective efforts of the artists, vendors, staff, volunteers and
ticket buyers, the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival is known for the positive,
conscious, environmentally aware community it attracts.
The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival is dedicated to nurturing a world family peacefully
united in celebration of the universal spirit of music. Come celebrate with us!
