Mendo Lake Family Life

Dance to World Music

The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival has been staging roots-reggae and world music bands since 1994. Due to the pandemic and then the death of its founder, Warren Smith, it’s been on hiatus. But now it’s back. Headlining this year’s 20-plus acts will be Burning Spear, Beres Hammond, and Luciano. There will also be children’s activities, dance troupes, and yoga and other workshops. The festival will run June 16–18 at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds in Boonville. Tickets are $275 for a three-day pass; one-day tickets are $90 for June 16 and $105 for June 17 and 18. Children ages 12 and younger get in free with a paid adult ticket and must be supervised at all times. Find out more and purchase tickets at snwmf.com.
