Future Sound of Nature Weekender is the second edition of our regenerative electronic music festival celebrating the Summer Solstice and the people and ecosystems of the Hudson Valley. A weekend of dancing, Nature music, delicious local food, nurturing local connections and stewarding local habitats — leaving the community and land better than we found them. This year we're migrating across the river to a new venue in Red Hook and capacity is limited so we're keeping it invite only to FSON '24 ticket buyers and our extended community (please don't share this invite, just let us know if you want us to forward to a friend).

OUR VALUES:
Accessibility - Deep connection - Diversity - Intergenerational collaboration - Land stewardship - Local community - Respect for indigenous wisdom - Sustainability

The lands and waterways where The Weekender is located are among the vast traditional areas of the Haudenosaunee, Esopus Lenape, Munsee Lenape/Monsiyok, and Mohican/Muhhekunneuw Peoples. For thousands of years, the Native people stewarded this land. We recognize and honor the enduring presence and resilience of these Nations as well as the plants and more than human life that remain our closest neighbors.

ABOUT US:

Future Sound of Nature (FSON) blends the soul of electronic music with the rhythms of the Earth to help us remember that we are all part of a beautiful interconnected web of life, and it's up to us to take care of it. Our work revolves around the fundamental principle of Regeneration, collaborating with Nature to support the communities and ecosystems where we live, create and gather.

We are a community of artists, musicians and nature lovers, cultivating a habitat for electronic music, creative work and community events that give Nature a voice as co-creator. Originally sprouting as a regenerative electronic music festival in Upstate New York, the FSON ecosystem also encompasses a multi-media label and an internet radio station in a permaculture greenhouse–creating opportunities for humans to come together, get creative, and connect with each other and the world around us.

With gratitude to all the ancestors who came before us, we honor the profound bond between humans and the land we share with all living things, we are here to help us remember that WE ARE ALL NATURE!
