Gathering of the Vibes started with Ken Hays, a Grateful Deadhead and business man, who got a few friends together in 1996 on the SUNY Purchase campus to share in the memory of Jerry Garcia by hosting a small music filled weekend. \u00a0Each year since, the festival has continued to grow with gifted musicians and artists, with attendees coming from all over to share in the fun times and heady vibes. Past headliners have included moe., The Allman Brothers, James Brown, Primus, Les Claypool and all founding members of the Grateful Dead.<\/p>\n

Gathering of the Vibes offers single day tickets<\/a>, VIP single day tickets, full Weekend Camping passes, VIP tickets, RV passes and Kids tickets, but children under 12 years old get in for free. \u00a0The single day tickets do not give include access to the campgrounds or the late night sets, so if you don\u2019t want to miss DJ sets from James Murphy, Kung Fu and Thievery Corporation\u2019s Rob Garza, as well as Silent Disco, you should consider just buying the Weekend Camping pass. \u00a0The gates open on Thursday, July 25th<\/sup> at 8am and the party is over once the last band performs on Sunday after 8pm. For those looking to get an early start, there is a $20 Early-Entry Parking Fee on Thursday anytime before midnight.<\/p>\n
