The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival promotes "conscious" music with a message of peace, unity and brotherhood, which transcends the divisions of race and culture. Over the past fifteen years we have endeavored to build a community where Conscious music, Roots music, and World music are embraced. Where bringing diverse people from many lands together in celebration yields more than just the sum of each individual present, but something much grander. We believe that music has the power to move mountains and change paradigms, and the phenomenal artists who have graced SNWMF stages over the years have imparted an overwhelmingly positive force.
Other important Sierra Nevada World Music Festival 2008 details:
-Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult.
-We welcome the input of nonprofit organizations, and over two dozen groups representing a range of environmental and social issues will be tabling at SNWMF 2008.
-The 2008 Festival Village will be offering foods, crafts and art from all over the world!
