Even though Phish is celebrating Halloween in New Jersey, the West Coast is not lacking in a killer festival to celebrate the day of the dead. Las Tortugas Dance of the Dead V at Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite, CA has a killer line-up slated for the four day boo-tastic Halloween celebration.
“The fifth annual Halloween weekend gathering once again takes place at Evergreen Lodge in Groveland, CA (located at the Western Gate of Yosemite National Park), offering a musician-positive, fan-friendly experience in a bucolic forest setting. With cozy cabins, a general store, restaurant and bar, daytime hiking adventures and many more unique features, Las Tortugas offers a handpicked, standout assortment of diverse music with a strong emphasis on the cream of Northern California’s rock scene.” says the folks at Las Tortugas.
With a ridiculous line-up of great bands, this festival sounds like just the ticket to a jammin’ Halloween in California. A four day pass costs $175.00.
Many options for lodging are on the Las Tortugas website.
