Nostalgic for LEAF?
~"I see LEAF as an island in our culture which is a place to go to be refreshed and to see how the world could work." Steve

~"The work that you are doing not just in bringing diversity through music, education through the arts to local students, and providing a forum for handicrafts and food that reflect our wide variety of cultures is outstanding." Nancy

~"What a knockout weekend! We couldn't have that much fun without all of your LEAF spirit and enthusiasm for LEAF goodness! Friends and families, fields, trees, tents, water and stages. Vibrant creativity abounds. Rays of dynamic sunlight dash off tubas. Rejuvenating dance. Interesting flavors. Enchanting stellar crowds gather expressing ahhh..." Erica

A LEAF Thank You from Jennifer,
LEAF is one of these magical gatherings in the world which makes us slow down for a few days, reconnect to the outdoors and friends, experience so many cultures through music and dance, and play. For the 1st time LEAF SOLD OUT all 3 days!? We always seek to make LEAF better but not bigger. We have decided to reduce the # of camping passes available for your comfort AND to add more DANCING hours for your pleasure. Please pass the word to BUY your tickets in advance!

...highlights of my LEAF weekend:
~Seeing so many special LEAF friends & family
~The BARNS coming to life exceeded all of our expectations. The sounds of the choir, Sarah Lee & Johnny, the people, the vibe... I was overwhelmed with thankfulness
~LEAF in Schools & Streets presented a fabulous show with Olu Dara at the Black Mtn's Women's Prison. Olu singing to and with the 60+ women prisoners was powerful!
~FLYING TRAPEZE was a huge hit LEAFers were flying all weekend!
~SOLAR SUNDANCE TENT was a great step towards many ways LEAF would like to be more eco-friendly.

Thank you ALL for coming and making the experience better every festival! Looking forward to celebrating our 25th festival with you in October!
~ Jennifer, Executive Director
