Well, well, well...... what can I say about this years Nippersink Music & Arts Festival? The weather was great, the music incredible, and the vibe was so positive!! This year was such an uphill battle to get to the point we all experienced together this past weekend on so many levels; and I can tell you it was SO worth it! I would like to first and foremost thank all of the attendees for joining us for what was an amazing experience alongside the Nippersink Creek. We are building an amazing festival together that will continue to grow and develop, offer incredible music and production, but at its core stay simple, natural, and free. That is the appeal of Nippersink in our eyes, that is what it will continue to be.Secondly, I would like to thank Austin's Fuel Room for believing in, and backing this festival event. They have brought so much to the table, and their assistance at the event was crucial. Nippersink Music and Arts Production can not wait to move forward with your team in the years to come. And last but not least I would like to thank our event staff, services, sponsors, BANDS, and volunteers. It takes a lot to successfully run a music festival, I feel our team does a great job of staying composed when the heat is on, and we always bring our A game.

So many volunteers stepped it up above and beyond what they were asked to do this year; I can not express what that means to me. I can feel that you all want this event to succeed as much as we as a Nippersink staff do. This area has needed a music festival to call their own for quite sometime, now and we are working hard to bring you the best event we can, in the most beautiful place we can find. Please tell your friends what a great time you had, attending, performing, volunteering, or vending at Nippersink Music and Arts Festival 2014. We look forward to seeing you in 2015!!
