SoCal's secret mini-festival returns to our spectacular mountain perch for a unique blend of fine music, art and surprising connections. The Gathering XIII June 26-28, 2026 When the wildflowers have bloomed and the winds are warm, the last Gathering can feel like a blissful yet fuzzy memory. And while there may be unforgettable pictures in our minds, connections in our hears, and beats in our soul, it all just seems like a sweet and fading dream. But there's an undeniable sense that what happens there are moments so unique and poignant, that we feel the magnetic draw to immerse ourselves in the Gathering community once again. We share an understanding that if we make it to that gorgeous mountain refuge to connect with music and each other, we will come down the hill energized and inspired. And maybe just a little dusty! For this year's edition, our baby is all grown up and become a teen! Of course, in this Bar Mitzvah edition, all of your favorite tangibles will be back this year, from masterful DJ sets and surprising live music, to amazing decor and exceptional elixirs. Now in our second year at the fabulous Sky Oaks Ranch, we have many plans on how to better use the space, and uplift your experience even more, including better musical flow, new artistic vision and improved food offerings. The ranch has made many physical improvements to the location as well, like a terraced camping area on the hill. Our new Gathering C afe will serve a few brunch options on Saturday and Sunday, as well as the return of our popular Saturday BBQ ! There will also be well marked areas in the kitchen zone where cooking on camp stoves is permitted. The famously cozy bell tents have been upgraded with 15 of the larger 4 person tents available. These are seasonal installations by the Ranch which are beautifully furnished with foam beds, bedding, solar lamps and rugs are in a prime location on the hilltop. The cost will again be $450 for these and you can email Sky Oaks Ranch to arrange a rental: skyoaksranch@gmail.com For RVs and Camping Trailers, we must limit the sale of these passes to smaller vehicles of 20' or less due to the long dirt driveway.
