PLEASE NOTE, DUE TO THE ONGOING RAIN, THE FARM FIELDS AT OUR ORIGINAL VENUE ARE FLOODED, SO WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE THE FESTIVAL INDOORS TO THE BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED DREW UNIVERSITY BALDWIN GYMNASIUM AT 36 MADISON AVENUE IN MADISON, NJ. 

We chose this backup location because it is spacious and accessible, and other great music events have been hosted successfully at this venue. Drew also offers convenient parking, including a lot right in front of the Simon Forum. You will enjoy the same exceptional music festival activities while staying dry and mud-free!

The festival location has changed, but everything else remains the same! Bring your chairs or blankets, or utilize the bleacher seating, for 6+ hours of live music in celebration of clean water and open space. Enjoy adult beverages and a variety of food from our food trucks. Our fabulous merch vendors and the Kids’ Corner will be in the lobby just outside the gymnasium along with the restrooms. Please note, dogs are not allowed at the Drew University facility!

The doors will still open at 11 AM, with the bands playing until 6:30 PM.

Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) is a non-profit organization protecting and improving the Great Swamp watershed & Passaic River region now and for future generations.
