We are starting our 🙏 Week of Thanks 🙏 with a couple clutch FRIENDS OF THE FESTIVAL!

Un grou marci à Carl's Store for the Rappie Pies that fed the folks who attended the first annual Rappie Pie Review (and some of our musicians & staff thereafter) and to Boatskeg Distilling Co. for donating some beverages for our artist green rooms.

The support of these independent businesses helps us shine a light on our festival’s local and cultural roots.

That’s a wrap on Ultramarine, Year 2. Many thanks, emotional reflections, and recaps to come. But first: we sleep!
