The Sunset Campout, a cherished music festival in Belden, California, is concluding its 16-year run. Organized by Sunset Sound System, the festival has faced challenges of rising competition and declining ticket sales. Co-founder Galen Abbott announced the final event under the theme Star Family Zenith scheduled for June 20, after being an integral part of the community since 2009. The festival has grown from humble beginnings in Mendocino to become a beloved celebration featuring music, workshops, and arts in the picturesque Sierra Nevada setting, reflecting its deep connection with local heritage.
It's the sweet 16. We're all very passionate about this, and we're calling it the 'end of a cycle.' Maybe we'll come back in a few years, but it feels like it's ready.
Since the first event in 2009, the Sunset Campout has been fully embraced by Belden, a census-designated place with about 15 people that has a rich gold mining history.
