“Our roots were nourished and watered by three days of rain, music and love from those who weathered the storm with us,” recalled Brenna Harm, creative curator and co-producer of the three-day music festival. which takes place at The Harm Farm. outside Interlochen.
“Due to the weather, we had about 250 people present, a small team and musicians. A rainbow landed at our stage entrance on the sunny Monday that followed, surely a sign for good things to come.
