An intimate music festival called Las Tortugus, located in Groveland, rocked the world of only a 1000 people this weekend. For those of you who don’t know Groveland is minutes away from Yosemite.
The festival had a day of the dead theme and a happy Halloween spirit. Over the course of the four day festival live bands played from noon to four in the morning. Everyone in attendance emphasized the communal type of lifestyle and free love mentality.
A couple great things about this festival, besides the amazing music, are the free camping and close proximity to Yosemite. Yosemite is a great experience but during the fall months it is a life changing experience. All the trees’ leaves are on fire with brilliant color and during the right time of day the reflection of light off the sheer cliffs are tones of red and pink. It is truly breath taking.
This is not the only festival that has great music and good locations. Festivals such as the High Sierra Music Festival, Reggae on the River or Bobolink are all really great shows with great atmosphere. Tortugus was unique because it was such a small event and had a much more family orientated vibe to it.
