This summer California will experience a co-creative festival unlike any it has seen before. Once Upon A Festival is happening June 12-14, 2015 at the swimmable East Park Reservoir in California's Central Valley. It is, at its core, a collaboration of members from some of the most nationally renown transformational festivals, Burning Man camps and production teams. The collective that has created One Upon A Festival is called Paradigm Shift Collaborations which combines curators and visionaries from Envision, Lucidity, Desert Hearts, Enchanted Forest, Antennae Presents, Raindance, Sacred Spaces, Hookahdome and Emmersion.
East Park Reservoir in Colusa County, CA, is on the west side of the Sacramento Valley, just three hours north of San Francisco. The breathtaking property features vast expanses of rolling hills with amazing trees, vegetation and a gorgeous beach on a huge swimmable lake. With such a beautiful lake at the disposal, Once Upon a Festival has created an innovative festival layout by building a floating stage and floating dance platforms for daytime parties in the water. Be it day or night, Once Upon a Festival will take participants on a visual voyage through different fantasy worlds with immersive art installations, galleries, stages and environments. They also have a 24/7 sound permit, perfect for dancing till the sunrise and beyond.
