Grateful Getaway, a new 11-day festival honoring the musical legacy of the Grateful Dead, is set to launch this summer in central New York with performances by Dark Star Orchestra, Sam Grisman Project, Melvin Seals & JGB, and more.
Grateful Getaway: An Enchanting Cosmic Odyssey Through the Grateful Dead’s Musical Wonderland will take place at Wonderland Forest, a new campground and concert venue near LaFayette, N.Y. that opened in 2023 with a 50th anniversary celebration of Summer Jam at Watkins Glen.
