Immerse yourself in music under the canopy! Live music venue in the forest hosts You're Good Festival this Memorial Day Weekend. Camp or cozy up in a cabin on-site. 

Forget the concrete jungle, the blaring speakers, the endless crowds. At The Canopy, we bring you music under the stars, amidst the diversity of trees and rustling leaves. This isn't just a concert; it's an immersive experience, a journey into the very soul of nature, soundtracked by talented artists.

Unleash the Acoustics of the Wild:

The forest becomes your amphitheater, its natural canopy the perfect soundstage. Every note resonates, every melody ripples through the leaves, creating an acoustic experience unlike any other. Close your eyes, feel the vibrations of the bass against your skin, and let the music wash over you, carried on the breeze through the branches.

Gather Around the Campfire of Music:

Our intimate gravel base lower level becomes your communal space. Five campsites encircle the 16x21 feet covered stage, a cozy haven for music lovers seeking connection and shared passion. Pitch your tent beneath the stars, strum your guitar by the crackling campfire, and build friendships that will echo long after the last note fades.

Amped Up for the Outdoors:

Fear not, fellow adventurers! With four 20-amp circuits at our disposal, your favorite artists can rock the forest with the best. We'll keep the tunes flowing smoothly, while you focus on soaking in the magic of the moment.

More Than Just Music:

The Canopy is more than just a stage; it's a canvas for memories. Sip on refreshing beverages, share stories under the starlit sky, and let the rhythm of the forest guide your soul. And coming soon, we'll be adding delicious food options to fuel your adventures.

A Community of Nature Lovers:

This isn't just a concert; it's a gathering of kindred spirits. People who share a love for the outdoors, the raw beauty of nature, and the transformative power of music. Come as strangers, leave as friends, united by the symphony of the woods.

So, trade the ordinary for the extraordinary. Leave the crowds behind and step into The Canopy. This is where music meets nature, where memories are made under the diversity of trees, and where your soul finds its rhythm in the heart of the forest.
