Lineup Announcement: 2018 Huichica Sonoma Festival Brings Together Music, Wine, and Local Foods

The ninth annual Huichica Sonoma Festival (pronounced wah-CHEE-ka) returns to wine country next month with two days of live music, decadent drinks, and locally-sourced cuisine.

The lineup for this year’s festival, organized by Northern California based boutique music and events curator and presenter (((folkYEAH!))), consists of hand-picked acts from psychedelic surf rock, indie, and folk genres. Headline artists include Jonathan Richman (playing on both days), as well as King Tuff, Vetiver, and Wooden Shjips. The festival also partnered with tons of Bay Area local vendors like Q Craft BBQ, Bodega Bay Oysters, and Verve Coffee to enhance the experience.

Away from the crowds, no bad seat exists at this family-friendly festival with a laid-back atmosphere. Musicians will perform across four stages: the Hillside Amphitheater, the Cave Stage, the Giraffe Stage and the historic Old Redwood Barn. There is also a kid zone for little ones to bounce around in while parents can roam the property with a glass and take in the chill vibes.

Tickets are available now, with single-day Friday tickets costing $46, single-day Saturday tickets for $81, and a two-day pass for $121. Parking costs $10 each day (cash only), except for vehicles carpooling with 3 or more passengers which are free.
