Over the past decade, South Jersey has become fertile ground for a burgeoning music festival scene with a mindful vibe. On weekends throughout the warmer months, music lovers of all ages—plus crafters, artisans, holistic healers and more—join musical performers at these cultural events that are more than just concerts. People in the yoga community meet and collaborate outside the festival. The oldest of these gatherings, the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, has grown to more than 5, attendees a year since launching five decades ago. Most of the South Jersey festivals are much smaller. Camp Jam in the Pines and the Electric Halloween festivals each host up to 1, attendees each year. The festivals tend to be clustered in South Jersey, in large part because of the availability of affordable, festival-friendly spaces.
