Ridgestock began in 1999 as a small local music venue and has grown to encompass the whole community coming together to work toward a common vision of sustainability. And why not have fun while doing it!?
Throughout the years, and with the community's committment to positive change, Ridgestock has featured renowned speakers on topics such as alternative energy sources, cob and strawbale building, organic gardening and farming, energy efficient cars, local economy forums, and more.
Ridgestock is also about CELEBRATING community! A range of eclectic local and regional
performers have graced our stages, from Clan Dyken, Elena Powell, Bodhi Busick, Organic Flood, Mystafya, The Mermen, Golden Shoulders...to the Firefly Dancers, and of course a crowd favorite - The Haute Trash Fashion Show!


And don't forget about our vendor booths and daytime activities that are fun for the whole family. There is certain to be good food, good company, and a stellar line-up of the most innovative and entertaining speakers and performers. Come, join us! Celebrate our community and shape a positive future!
