FAQ

Will the lineup change?

No, not drastically, but we want to inform you that the daily lineup and dates/times of each performance or act are subject to change up until the day of the festival due to artist/venue needs. We will have a nearly perfect set schedule posted at the festival and online the days before the festival.

Where do the proceeds of this go?

This event is a fundraiser, helping create more green spaces, we hope that you will get a ticket, come and support us in this effort. All net proceeds of the festival will be donated to a fund that will be managed through input from: Local people, the land owners, city government, and the hub Sebastopol. The funds will be targeted at the Depot street lot and improving its usability and functionality over the next 2 years while the hotel build is on pause.

Who is running this?

This event is a combination of many talented people and organizations. The Hub Sebastopol, Bhakti Fest and a talented staff of volunteers and producers are putting this on for the benefit of the local community.

Do you have permits?

Yes, we have engaged the city directly to set up and run this festival per their required fees and standards.

Why are only specific restaurants listed?

We are featuring the best of local farm to table food and beverages at this event, to ensure that non locals coming get to taste what we feel are the highest quality sourced ingredients prepared locally. All restaurants listed are independent of sponsorship or direct organization of this festival, unless otherwise implied in writing. We are featuring them as a direct gift and pr boost to the places we love. Check them out while you are here!

Can kids come?

Yes all stages are kid friendly. All children under 12 are free and 12-20 are half off. Purchase of youth passes are only available at the box office the day of to ensure age.

$150 is the flat fee for 3 day pass for 12-20 years old.

Why is there beer and wine?

2 Stages are substance free: Bhakti and The Hub areas. Both are yoga/wellness focused these areas are far enough apart from the other stages that we feel the intentional bubble of those zones are not negatively impacted by wine and alcohol being used elsewhere.

We have chosen in addition to this to embrace and not exclude the long history of this town being a cider, beer & wine growing region by featuring high quality drink makers in 2 areas: The main stage and center stage. In addition to this you will have access to the rest of what the town has to offer in food and drink.

Where is this thing?

Bloom Fest is a city wide event. We have rented multiple locations to hold the 3 musical stages, workshops, vendors market and wellness spaces.
