Dope Jams Open-Air Festival

About the experience

Venture roughly 135 miles north of Manhattan this July 31st and you’ll start to see space time recede into a more humane fantasy; urban sprawl’s famished tendrils shorten to an eventual welcomed whisp, botanical life’s summer shades enriched by divine angles of incidence and reflection. Along this journey you may come across Locust Grove, a haven within the Kaatskill hamlet of Oak Hill. While the lush property was once a creamery, today its home to a community of like-minded souls dedicated to the eternal arts of sound and movement: Dope Jams.  Running now on its 11th year, Dope Jams Open Air Festival has become an assured fixture for all types of music freaks, open-hearted bucolic scavengers, and seekers of the light. No bullshit, no empty gesturing, no unwarranted bravado. Over two days and three nights of music from a menagerie of misfits. A limited supply of on-site camping tickets will be available for purchase—please help keep our property clean for the enjoyment of others and our Earth. Food, spirits, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase (no outside food unless camping). +++ Event is FREE for all Oak Hill, Cornwallville & East Durham residents with ID proof of residence.+++ 𝗙𝗔𝗤 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲? Locust Grove is a slice of heaven nestled in a verdant corner of the Great Northern Kaatskills, in the picturesque hamlet of Oak Hill, NY. Formerly operated as the Locust Grove Creamery, the property was owned by the Hull Family for generations. Today, Locust Grove is a collaborative clubhouse manifested as a community of like-minded creative friends who like to have fun, build, dance, light shit up, commune with the lush natural surroundings and celebrate the endless joy of ecstatic rural life. We are not a cult and we are against labels, acronyms and stereotypes (but not stereos). All and everyone who carry and offer open hearts and minds are welcome. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲?
