Article Contributed by Musical Earth | Published on Wednesday, May 13, 2015

The fourth annual The Mad Tea Party Jam, presented by Appalachian Jamwich, takes place June 18-21 in Hedgesville, WV.  The music and arts festival will be headlined by two-nights of The Werks and Dopapod, joined by Rising Appalachia, Turkuaz and over forty more great live acts.
 
The arts will also be a prevalent component to the experience and patrons can enjoy looking through a transformative art gallery, exploring art installations, and watching live art being created before their eyes at the main stage.  

The optical delights don't end there, because each night the crowd transforms into outlandish characters for our nightly costume contests.  Fire performers light up the night sky, hoop troupe performers make LED lights melt before your eyes, and aerial performers hang gracefully from the stage. Workshops teaching how to hoop, do yoga, play guitar and more will also be available to enhance the experience at the festival.
 
The Mad Tea Party Jam takes place on beautiful land with two ponds, a stream and swimming hole. Also on the property is a Bavarian style villa and stone courtyard that hosts the VIP/Artist area.  The intimate environment allows musicians to roam the property and rub shoulders with attendees.  The magical venue and kind vibes bring us together to love one another and transform our energies into a single creative collective.
 
General admission tickets are currently at their presale price of $130 and VIP tickets are available for $230. VIP tickets include preferred camping with the bands, VIP hospitality area, three private acoustic sets by bands T.B.A., T-shirt, poster, and laminate.
