CELEBRATING TWENTY-SIX YEARS!
September 19th through 22nd

 
High Zero Festival is one of the world's most unusual music festivals. It puts musicians from around the world on a stage together with no planning and asks what will happen? These musicians come from many backgrounds of improvisation and experimentation.

The fact that this festival has persisted this long means its so amazingly special. There's a devoted following and hard working volunteers that make it happen every year.

You can now join our friends who help us meet our needs by participating in our Patreon.
