The Vision
This won't be as much a music festival, as a "community" festival. All our small communities are falling apart. There is not enough money to fix roads, the swimming pools are closing, and grocery stores are shutting down. All the small towns are falling apart, while Sioux Falls is coming alive with great culture, especially the music and arts.

I'm wanting to do this annual Community & Arts Festival to try and show how if we as a community come together as a whole, rather than individual towns, we could ALL do well.

This festival will be WAY out of the box. I'm trying to eliminate the words "line up," "main stage, " "ringers/rock stars" and create an all-inclusive acoustic festival along our beautiful Vermillion River campground. Rather than stages--and musicians playing on stage, they will just be wandering the campground. There will be sponsored camps spread around our campground (i.e., Camp Whitewall, Camp Sioux River Folk Fest, Camp Rhythm of the River, Camp Book Coop, etc.).
