From June 16th – 17th 2018, A SHIP IN THE WOODS will present its inaugural music and art festival within the 50-acre oak grove of Felicita County Park in Escondido, California, situated in North County San Diego.

The mission of the festival will be a continuation of the nonprofit's past programming as an arts and culture incubator merging world class talent with local San Diego artists.

With grant support from the city of San Diego and County of San Diego along with select sponsors, visitors will experience a lineup of diverse, notable, contemporary, independent, and emerging performers representing a wide range of genres, including indie-rock, folk, post-punk, post-rock, shoegaze, dreampop, Afrofuturist hip-hop, ambient, experimental, and electronic music. There will be immersive outdoor contemporary art installations with a focus on social practice, ecology, and experimentation. Food trucks and vendors supporting conscious forward products and practices will be on hand. Participating bands, artists, members, and VIP ticket holders will have weekend access to WSOHOIDPS home headquarters at the south end of Felicita County Park.
