A new player has emerged in the bustling field of music festivals. The inaugural Homegrown Music Festival has been announced for July 21-23 at Byrd’s Adventure Center nestled deep in the Ozark Mountains near Ozark, Arkansas. Aside from providing world class entertainment as announced in the first 2 rounds of the lineup, the folks behind Homegrown Music Festival have another mission: to be the areas first sustainable and family friendly music festival.

Boogaloo Music and Art Car Festival started as a small family fathering in Lake Elsinore on top of a mountain for a birthday party for one of the founding members of the Dirty Beetles. It was set up again the following year as a fundraiser to build an art project for Burning Man. This even was such a success, the Dirty Beetles decided to expand and create a multi stage music festival and camp out at the former home of Lightning in a Bottle, Oak Canyon Park.
