We are committed to the
Re-Greening of Planet Earth

SNWMF welcomes Waste Busters
and their awesome Green Team!
They specialize in event waste reduction which will include composting for this year's SNWMF.

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.
The green team will dispose of it soon.

When packing for SNWMF,
you should 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. Our 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 Nineteen years we have endeavored to build a community where Conscious music, Roots music, and 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 2013 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 many organizations representing a range of social and environmental issues will be tabling at the Festival.

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!
