Zo Fine Mental Health & Music Festival is back for year 5 to bring music, art, food, and mental health awareness to the community. Through music, advocacy and self-expression, we are creating an outlet for healthy conversations and informed healing. We celebrate our 5th year with you all!

The festival takes place on Saturday, Sept. 10th & Sunday, September 11th opening with guided meditation and followed by a line up of live music performances throughout the day that speak to the status quo of mental health in today’s world. 

The festival will also have panelists who speak about their journey, yoga and breathing meditation classes, as well as DJ's to help you shake off the feelings of the week, month and year!

This year we’re partnering with The Phoenix ( via members Bryce the Third, Kelsey Dovico, and Brandon Stuart) a sober active community that fuels resilience and harnesses the transformational power of connection & mental health so that together people can rise, recover, and live.

A portion of this years proceeds will go to furthering the mission of this impactful national organization.

Alongside food trucks and other assorted vendors, The Phoenix will have a significant presence at the festival to provide people with specific resources that help with mental health and sobriety, such as its extensive health and fitness programming that is free with at least 48 hours of sobriety, opportunities to volunteer and further its community advocacy work, and a comprehensible list of locations offering free or sliding scale therapy.
