“ShazamFest is like a giant house party,” says Founder/Director Ziv Przytyk, whose picturesque organic family farm will once again serve as the setting for the festival’s summertime cabaret of mirth, merriment, and controlled chaos. “It’s the gathering of the tribes. Times have been tough for a lot of people, so we’ve created a space where everyone can leave their woes behind, be entertained, and begin to dream again.”
For those bringing their kids:
KidzZone also offers 3 daily meals + snacks throughout the entire run of the festival for a modest $25 per child, with discounts offered for multiple children — in addition to free unlimited spring water tapped right at the source, free festival access for children under the age of 13 and free camping!
