Slab Creek Music Festival

Neskowin Valley School is readying for the annual Slab Creek Music Festival. If you would like to have a chance to jam with a bunch of fun musical folks, this is the place to be. The Slab Creek Music Festival gives you the chance to eat, sleep and breathe music all weekend, culminating with a public concert on Sunday night.

In the past traditional music workshops have been about transposing, rhythm, fiddle, flatpicking, mandolin, guitar, singing and more, while non-traditional explorations have explored folk-dancing, cafe' performing, banner making and many other crafts.

The History
Craig Stewart launched the Slab Creek Music Festival in 2002, to provide an opportunity for people to get together and spend an entire long-weekend devoted entirely to the celebration of making music. Craig's experiment quickly became a favorite yearly event for most everyone who has attended.

"Our mission is to create a supportive environment in which people of all ages and abilities can celebrate our collective creativity through the exploration, creation, learning and performance of music of all genres."

2011 Slab Creek Music Festival details and schedule

A serious amount of jamming, reading, napping, Frisbee, hackey sack and whatever else you can dream up.

More than ever, this will be a completely volunteer driven event. Please be ready to pitch in. Although with the simplified schedule, there shouldn't too much to cover – 4 meals (prep and clean-up), Saturday and Sunday night show set-up along with everyone's favorite event – the Monday morning clean-up.

As always – no dogs, no exceptions. (The school doesn't like the poop bombs to start the school year.)

Accommodations
The festival is held on the grounds of the Neskowin Valley School, which is located on Slab Creek Road in Neskowin. Most people camp in tents on the school soccer field and use school and festival provided facilities, while others rent houses in nearby Neskowin. On site we have portable outdoor sink facilities, outdoor men's and women's restrooms and an outdoor (private) shower for onsite campers.

Please note: Attendance is limited to 125 people due to budget and facility limitations. Please with a check ASAP so we can plan food, sanitation, etc. Click here to print out registration form.
