This is the Next to Last Festival! We are a non-profit music and arts festival in Athens, Ga showcasing over 15 unique and exciting musical acts from all over the country, progressive speakers, performance art, a vendors market, a farmer’s market, and a community info center for creatures of all ages. With so many blockbuster festivals gouging their attendees out of absolutely obscene sums of money, only to confine them in uncomfortable, tight spaces and skimp on basic necessities, our goal is to do the right thing: That is, to create a reasonably priced music festival that provides an overwhelmingly positive, comfortable and fun festival experience for attendees of all kinds in the beautiful Georgia outdoors. Proceeds from this year’s event will be going to Common Ground Athens, Common Ground New Orleans, and the fantastic artists who have volunteered their time and efforts to make this happen.

How about parking?
Parking will be available on a sliding scale designed to encourage carpooling for everyone’s sake and to maintain the land so that it will let us play another year. A full car (5 or more) can park for free. A car with 4 passengers can park for $5. A car with 3 passengers can park for $7. A car with 2 passengers can park for $10. And a car by your lonesome will be $15. We still feel that any way you look at this, the content of the event is more than worth it and we hope you’ll let us prove it to you.
Are there any age restrictions?
