Longstock

Longstock One Day of Music in the Santa Cruz Mountains It's a magical day of music, food, and recreation for families and friends alike.

Once a year on the Saturday before the Summer Solstice hosts Paul Mooney, Tom Levehagen and Kim Winn open their beautiful mountain stage to a select group of musicians and music lovers for a day of sonic intoxication and social immersion. Hatched under the concept of 'Build it and they will Come' and nurtured by the love of music, Longstock's universal appeal brings together a wide range of music

al stylists reminiscent of the radio shows of the past when we were likely to hear any style of music all on the same station.

Here is an article from the Housing Matters August newsletter. We were asked to make a statement regarding our efforts on behalf of Housing Matters. We are grateful to Housing Matters and deeply appreciate all of our musicians, artists, volunteers, and staff who generously donated their time, talents, and resources to support this worthy cause. Your generosity and dedication helped make our efforts possible and made a meaningful difference in our community. Thank you all for your support!

Here's a great reminder of how Longstock can change lives.

Fresh from the band SPAM! is this video of Dorise and Throwing Roses delivering an incredible, high-energy set. It's a perfect example of what makes Longstock such a special event—great music, an amazing community, and a chance to make a real difference.

This year, we're a little behind last year's fundraising total for Housing Matters, and we need your help to put Longstock back on top as Housing Matters' largest community fundraiser.

Our goal is simple:
🎯 40 people donating $100, or
🎯 80 people donating $50.

Put another way, a $100 donation works out to just 27¢ a day for a year. We think most of us can find a quarter and two pennies when it counts.

Every donation helps provide housing and support services for people in our community who need them most.

Please donate today using the official Longstock donation QR code below, or use this link:

Thank you for helping Longstock continue changing lives!

Please send this along to your friends who wish to resolve homelessness together.

Longstock 2026 — Tomorrow!

The night before Longstock, the camp is alive: roadies, riggers, carpenters, sparkies, and lighting wizards; stagehands, hair, wardrobe, and makeup — all moving in rhythm under the steady eye of the stage manager and the International Brotherhood of Elves business agent. The field hums. The stage awakens. Our own little Brigadoon springs into life.

Longstock is tomorrow, June 20, 2026. Come share a wonder-filled day of music, peace, love, and understanding.

Free camping Friday and Saturday
Main stage first note: 12:00 PM
Sunday Morning World Famous Blueberry Pancake Breakfast for campers.
Bring: lawn chairs, water bottle, hat, layers, cash, and good vibes

Be kind. Look out for each other. Dance like the solstice is listening.

Longstock- safer than heaven.

Love tie dye??? Visit Leslie & Doug at the BACKYARD ART ACADEMY BOOTH in their 10th-ish year at Longstock! Find them down near the tap room Saturday.

Dye your own festival shirt. Purchase a white Longstock Tee from Linda on the deck, bring your own cotton tee, or get one from Leslie to get your tie dye on. Leslie does ICE DYE that gives an amazing kaleidoscope of colors. You can see the colors in her samples!

Leslie's already dyed 8 shirts that will be available for purchase Saturday (for the tidy fingers folks) or she can help you make one like her samples. If you're feeling crafty, go wild and choose from over 40 dye colors to make your own one-of-a-kind creation and be the envy of all your friends.

As always, a portion of your purchase will be donated to Housing Matters.

We hope to see you Saturday! Music, food, friends, fun - invite your people!

Do you believe like we believe? I hope you do. Longstock is hands down the best way to start your summer. There is a reason Longstock is on the Longest day of the year. Our summer solstice shines the light on truly great music, community and purpose.

There’s magic in showing up for each other!✨

Housing Matters is facing a critical funding gap due to growing demand and funding instability — but together, we can fortify tomorrow, today. Make an impact today!

We have the power to change someones life for the better.

Join the Longstock community for a beautiful day of music, joy, and purpose benefiting Housing Matters.
