Dead on the Creek

Dead on the Creek Music Festival, the beloved event inspired by the timeless music and spirit of Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, is back! Set to take place August 8–10, 2025, the festival promises an intimate gathering in gorgeous Mendocino County featuring three days of mighty fine music, camping under the stars, delicious meals made with locally sourced ingredients, and activities for the whole family.

Step into a world where music and history intertwine at the legendary Black Oak Ranch, affectionately known as the Hog Farm and the home of the iconic Wavy Gravy since the epoch of Woodstock. This cherished site, which in the early 90s echoed with the strums of Jerry Garcia and later celebrated the famed Pignic, has been the proud host of the renowned Kate Wolf Festival for over two decades.
