Life returns to the swamps and gardens! Look closely! There’s a party among the flowering weeds! Music emerges!

Here’s the more or less complete lineup for Sappyfest 21! A full program of music, art, poetry, puppets, performance and everything in-between and unenclosed. Thank you for meeting us here, with intent, curiosity, creativity, and kind hearts. Sappyfest remains a beautiful experiment in collective imagination, a rehearsal for better living, a meeting place, a shared effort in positive dreaming. We do this together!
