I'm Gwyneth, mom of two girls, aged 123and 9, who loves to travel in the Southeast US and beyond. I love to be on the go, whether visiting old favorites or discovering new places. I find that after each trip I have learned more about my children, traveling with my children, and traveling in general, and I hope our experiences will help others make the most of their travel adventures.

2012 Dates: May 10-13 and October 18-21. Lake Eden Arts Festival (LEAF) pulls from the whole spectrum of music, but really focuses in on world and folk genres, several of which actively involve the children in the performances.

"Great for Families!"
Our family has been to LEAF three times and is looking forward to heading back in a couple of weeks. Everyone is super friendly, the music is amazing, the food is great. The kids are free to roam and explore, and the activities are diverse enough to fit our family's interests from trapeze and zip-line to knitting and music.

"High Sierra Music Festival"
High Sierra is in its 21st year, so that must prove we know a thing or two about logistics of producing a music festival. Our festival takes place at a County Fairgrounds (Plumas County) so there is lots of infrastructure (real toilets, real showers etc). We also now offer professional, certified childcare (for a fee) with "the Rockin Nannies" who offer games, movies and other activities for the kids at night so mom and dad can have some quality time by themselves.
