The Venture Retreat Center near Pescadero is once again planning a music festival the end of July. The center hopes to use music as a way to be more involved with the locals of our area. The Retreat Center started in the early 1960’s as a place for workshops, training, and retreats focusing on personal wellness and interpersonal growth. The hope is that the money raised will be enough to fund their scholarship programs. They love hosting weddings and other special events.
VentureFest 2020 will be held July 24-26. Mostly featuring our local music talent, performance art, and artists. There will be camping, great food, swimming and hot tubbing. Like most festivals VentureFest needs to enlist the help of some volunteers to make it a successful event. If you want to get in without having to pay, consider working a few hours a day to get in and be a part of this new and special event. If you are an artist or musician and would like to enquire about being a vender or performer, please contact Jonelle at the center. Artists that might be interested in doing the poster for this year’s event should also contact Jonelle. There will be much more info to come. Also the Venture Center is looking for someone to help with administration, a paid position. Any inquiries can be sent to hello@ventureretreat.org or call 650 879-0618
