2nd Annual Smalltown Gathering Kicks off Next Week

The second annual Smalltown Gathering is gearing up for a beautiful fall weekend in the mountains. Smalltown Gathering is known for its intimate, family-friendly vibe and commitment to community and conscious living. The festival will once again take place at Riverside Park in the heart of downtown Salida, creating the perfect backdrop for a weekend immersed in music, community, and nature. The weekend will also feature yoga sessions and workshops led by world-class instructors, along with a Kids Zone offering arts and crafts, kids yoga, and more. Camp Coletrain will offer interactive acoustic music workshops for both kids and adults, led by theColetrain Music Academy, a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to providing professional, accessible music education. The festival will also feature 15 craft vendors displaying and selling locally created goods and art.

Unlike large-scale commercial festivals, Smalltown Gathering aims to be more intimate and intentional. Integrating the fabric of the community into all aspects of the gathering. Quality over quantity is a mantra and the festival is heralded for leaving their event spaces cleaner than they found them.

This year’s music headliners include The California Honeydrops, Fruition, Moontricks, Magoo and more. After the main stage closes each night at Riverside Park, there will be late-night shows hosted at several venues around town. Tickets for the late-night shows start at 10. Shows begin at 10 pm and are 21 Only. The full late-night schedule is listed below. This weekend also marks one of Fruition’s last festival performances as part of their final tour.
