Interactive, participatory art and eco-conscious production combine to create a living landscape at the Big Up.

Hosted at the legendary festival grounds of Sunnyview Farm, which is quickly emerging as the Northeast venue for exclusive small festivals and concerts, the Big Up presents a new paradigm for East Coast festival culture because of its unique synthesis of musical entertainment, interactive art and sustainable initiatives in an intimate natural setting. Sunnyview Farm’s 1500 acres of breathtaking views provide a one-of-a-kind venue for wooded camping, four stages with no overlapping sets, an onsite farmer’s market, large-scale multimedia installations, and workshops dedicated to hands-on sustainable skills and collaborative art.

Gates open Thursday, June 17th at 2:00pm. Music begins Thursday, June 17th at 6:00pm and ends Sunday, June 20th at 6am.
