Music lineup coming soon!
Why we Stomp
Large music festivals are temporary cities that take a great deal of effort and money to set up, only to be torn down several days later. We’re tired of that. This event is hosted on private land, allowing each year to build on the last. The purpose of this land and event is to nourish our desire for real connection and creativity, and to cultivate a feeling of belonging that extends beyond the event itself. We are building a foundation and creating a small hub for live music and community, so all of us can offer a bit of our magic. Purpose evolves slowly, and your presence and excitement is an essential part of defining what this becomes. We’re here to feed our innate desire to celebrate and walk away inspired. Think about how you’d like to be involved as we continue to evolve.
For anyone new here, Mosswood Stomp is a small campout in the forest outside Veneta. Live music on a beautiful stage, home cooked food, stunning visual art, dancing and shenanigans in the Ol’ Saloon, and most importantly, the wonderful weird humans bringing it all to life!
It’s homemade, hand built, and exactly how we like it.
