Echoes of The Southern Belles, a Richmond,
Virginia based psychedelic, rock n’ roll band, could be heard as we made our
way down the gravel driveway to the beautiful open fields and hills of Trip’s
Farm (don't miss them at Pink Moon 6). Spotted almost immediately was the great dome of Domeland - the tallest dome in the 2 Virginias, which
was certainly fitting for Domefest!

After getting camp setup, we ventured out
to say hello to friends and to check out the vendors and explore the festival
grounds. Our friends from Intergalactic Space Kitchen were there to provide
cosmic eats for the weekend (you'll also be able to catch them at #pinkmoon6). Their burgers and donuts are a huge hit so if you
see them at your next fest, be sure to check out the menu!
The day continued
with music from Fletcher’s Grove, TAUK, and The Mantras. The main stage closed
with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong bringing the funk back to Trip’s Farm! Puff T.Magic-Dragon even came out to boogie through the crowd for the Pigeon’s set and
their performance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.” Afterwards,
Turkuaz played killer sets in the Late Night Barn - including an entire set of Talking Heads covers.

An amazing sunrise welcomed what was to be a wonderful
Saturday. The Jauntee opened for another day of great acts like Pink Moon Festival's own Freedom Enterprise in addition to many in-between
sets by multi-instrumentalist Mateo Monk. One workshop worth
mentioning was the “Let it Flow” Poem Tell led by Ben Carrey in the Dome around
lunch. There were also yoga, poi, and fire spinning workshops
The Dancing Bears made their way to stage for The Shack Band’s set which
was accompanied by many big bear hugs and groups photos. The evening continued
with Supatight, The Hornitz, Yellow Dubmarine, and Star City Disco. BIG Something played an amazing set while Puff T. Magic-Dragon made a few rounds
before returning to get the funk down again with Pigeons. The music continued
in the Late Night Barn for sets from Twiddle and Pink Moon’s own DELTAnine.

The
weekend greatly exceeded my expectations – I had a spectacular time seeing
all of these incredible performers at this remarkable venue.

volunteers, artists, musicians, and attendees! Rock Camp Productions is
