Beardfest

Ow ow! The Jersey Devil and her fleet of Piney Spirits called and invited Beardfest back to Paradise Lakes! Join us for three nights of celebration with the greatest of friends and family, old and new. Come prepared to share, play, relax, teach and learn...leave with enough inspiration to fuel your soul til' next time!

In a world where entertainment is often too reduced to a passive, spectator/performer relationship; and where social interactions are too often reduced to quick moments of stolen time; and appreciation of nature is too often kicked aside for the pride of progress; Beardfest attempts to be a breath of fresh air.

Last year, festival goers enjoyed performances from their favorite local musicians, artists, and fire spinners; but Beardfest 2014 was about more than just the traditional performer/spectator experience. The festival featured community art creation, yoga classes, workshops ranging from organic gardening to guitar maintenance, open jams, and camping for all attendees, while maintaining a focus on minimizing waste and caring for the planet.

Beardfest 2014 was a meaningful community building experience, leaving many attendees with wonderful new friendships, new ideas, and an inspired feeling.

As one of the directors of Beardfest, this was especially true for me. I can honestly say that many of the people who I consider to be my closest friends now, are people who I met because of Beardfest. The ideas and inspiration that came along with Beardfest's success in 2014 have led to what has been a happy, productive, and transformational year for Out of the Beardspace.

....And we are going to do it all over again in 2015! We hope that we can make this years festival even better than the last. We love you all and look forward to seeing you at Beardfest 2015!
