“Let me tell you, the Golden Road Festival last year was the best possible mash up of a backyard party with jam band music festival. It’s small and intimate and it’s really a sweet time”  

-John Kadlecik, GRF ’23 Alumni

“I went all by myself, and within a minute of arriving, I was not all by myself. I have friends to this day that I consider very close friends that I see on a monthly basis. The Golden Road Festival is the gift that keeps on giving” 

-Amanda Udell, GRF ‘23 Alumni

“It’s such a wonderful gathering – small, sweet, intimate…full of fabulous people and great music and I’m thrilled to be on the bill for this year’s event!” 

-David Gans, GRF ‘23 Alumni

“I said many times during the weekend that we would never be able to explain GRF to anyone that wasn’t there. It was lightning in a bottle” 

-Jan Blakesberg, GRF ‘23 Alumni

“Technically, it is a music festival, but to call it that doesn’t quite describe it. It was an experience. I knew it would be great, but it far exceeded my expectations… by miles!” 

-Brian Stevens, GRF ‘23 Alumni

“Only 200 people come to this festival and we all hang out. We do communal dining, we do communal activities. We’re all in it together. We are family.” 

-Jay Blakesberg, GRF ‘23 Alumni
