For over a decade, Cali Roots has managed to lead the festival market in sustainability with amazing greening initiatives and partnerships. The event is dedicated to incorporating sustainability onsite and into their core daily business operations. Cali Roots pledges to reduce the impact on the environment by aligning themselves with other like-minded organizations, making earth-wise choices regarding the products they purchase, promoting environmental awareness to their fans, staff and artists, and continuing to set the bar higher each year in their commitment to sustainability.

The 2020 festival will also feature a diverse lineup of the best food Monterey has to offer. Between sets, attendees can take in and enjoy pop up performances, DJ sets, and unique art installations

From this music festival came passion to create a rich experience for festival goers who have come to expect much more than just a random bunch of bands on a couple stages. “We love cultivating what your experience will feel like as you walk through our gates, thoughtfully selecting live artists, delicious food, beautiful and unique craft booths, and intimate pop-up performances we believe will enhance your experience for our eleventh year.
