Divided Sky Foundation, the Vermont-based drug and alcohol recovery nonprofit founded by Phish‘s Trey Anastasio, together with The Phoenix will host a new one-day music festival, Music on the Mountain, this spring.
Anders Osborne, Dogs In A Pile, and Saints and Liars are lined up to perform at the midday booze-less bash, which is set to take place at Jackson Gore Resort at the base of Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, VT on Saturday, May 18th at 2pm ET following the Divided Sky Foundation’s Annual Fun(d) Run at 9 a.m. that morning.
In addition to music, the festival will provide wellness activities throughout the weekend, such as yoga, meditation, and arts, plus vendors offering food, water, and NA (Non-Alcoholic) beverages for sale.
“Through Music on the Mountain,” organizers said, “[we] hope to create a movement to provide more sober inclusive music events and festivals.”
All proceeds from ticket sales and other donations will support Divided Sky Foundation in its mission provide educational and introspective programming to foster a sober and productive foundation for individuals affected by addiction.
“As a person in recovery, I understand how valuable it is to individuals in early sobriety to have access to an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive community where they can begin to build a solid foundation for their new sober lives,” said Trey Anastasio. “At The Divided Sky Recovery Program, our mission is to deliver supportive and compassionate programming with dignity and respect for individuals and their families affected by addiction. We do this by offering a safe environment for men and women to build the foundation necessary to live a productive, healthy, and sober life.”
Tickets for Music on the Mountain are available here with a suggested donation cost of $20, though participants in the Fun(d) Run can register for free. Children are welcome, though parents of children under 18 will be required to complete a waiver upon entry. Guests are encouraged to bring chairs and picnic blankets.
