Astral Valley Presents: Family Jam

St. Louis, MO, July 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Astral Valley is an interactive art gallery and organic orchard nestled on over 230 acres in the Missouri Ozarks, just outside of French Village and 45 minutes south of St. Louis. The land is home to a traveling group of giant puppeteers known as the Astral Gypsies, who perform nationally at multiple festivals. Their performances include famous events like Burning Man, Electric Forest, and Wakarusa. Recently, they hosted a festival of their own known as Cosmic Reunion. The event featured over two thousand attendees, several nationally renowned bands, and hundreds of independent artwork from across the country.

On July 24th, they are hosting their second festival of the season called Family Jam, a weekend camping festival. Featuring two nights of headliner, Grateful Dead Experience: The Schwag, and accompanying acts such as Aaron Kamm & The One Drops, Bob Marley Tribute: Nonstop Reggae, Mountain Sprout with their special flavor of bluegrass, and more to be announced. Tickets are just $40 online and $50 at the gate. Free parking and camping for the weekend are included with the purchase of the ticket. The fun filled weekend will also feature: state of the art performances by The Astral Gypsies Giant Puppets, local hoop troupes, fire performers, circus style theatrics, vendors selling everything from handmade crafts to tasty treats, along with a child-friendly campground for families, hundreds of free activities, educational workshops, live art installations, caves, creek, and more.
