Update: Countdown to Inaugural Sand & Strings Music Festival Is Underway (El Sayulero)
By now you have probably seen posters around town or heard through the grapevine about Sand & Strings Music Festival, which will take place April 5th and 6th at Frente al Punto Beach Club. The first (of hopefully many) edition of this gathering will feature an incredible lineup of Americana, bluegrass, indie folk and blues artists from San Francisco to Mexico City, British Columbia to Nashville, and even Sayulita and the surrounding area. The list of artists is a “who’s who” of this vibrant music scene that is rooted in tradition but firmly situated in the present.
As this highly anticipated concert weekend approaches, I’ve made it my mission as the main festival organizer to help ensure a bright future for both Sand & Strings and for the Sayulita community and beyond. This means adhering to sustainable practices from day one in order to minimize the kind of waste that events of this size tend to generate. It requires a bit of additional forethought and organization but is essential to the festival’s values of family, community and shared experience.
We have recently partnered with and will donate part of the festival’s proceeds to Azul Sayu, A.C., Sayulita’s stellar environmental conservation organization over five years in the making. This registered non-profit provides free recycling services to the community, having installed over 100 bins around Sayulita and San Ignacio, where recycled items are collected and later sorted effectively. Azul Sayu has also set up two public drop off points, runs educational workshops at its sorting facility and works closely with bars, restaurants, developments, schools, parks and homes to ensure responsible recycling practices, among other important work. The program is primarily funded by donations from members of the community and local business sponsors.
Tickets for Sand & Strings Music Festival are currently on sale at Sandandstringsfest.com.
