Over Here, Explorer!

There is something exciting about the morning you leave for a music festival!
You’re gear is packed, you’ve tied up enough loose ends to the point you feel comfortable enough to bug out for a couple days, and you and your posse kiss your daily responsibilities goodbye, and careen toward a great time!
The trip is a portal from one world into another. You leave a place of deadlines, judgement, and cliques, into a world of self-guided fun, acceptance, and togetherness. It is the purest “great reset” for many of us.
And, as life gets more crazy, as things get more expensive, and as resources become more scarce - we become more judicious about our trips into this utopian weekend reality. The sad paradox is, this is exactly the time when we all need MORE music festivals in our lives.
The Ramble is one world Brick and I would love for you to visit this October 7-9th. While the reality is both worlds still operate by the dollar, The Ramble strives to be a more equitable exchange of expenditure into elation!
(Who could resist such an alliteration?)
We started with transparent pricing. The price you see on the bottom line of one webpage is the price you see at checkout. No bait-n-switch at the ticket counter here friends! As you know at this point, we also ignored the VIP revenue stream. There’s another blog about that on our webpage, The Importance Of Non-Importance. Then, we focused on artisan “Ma & Pa” vendors. Locally focused, but regionally wide, your dollars spent with them actually helps THEM. It pays their bills, feeds their families, and helps keep their vibe alive.
Speaking of vibes, did I mention The Ramble Vibe Tribe? Just the nicest group of humans on the planet whose job for the weekend is to make sure fun is being had by all! Some times we need a little help to shake the dust off our starting point to fully immerse ourselves in the weekend bliss! Need a dancing partner? Find a member of the Vibe Tribe! Need someone to help you bring back all the food and drinks you just bought for your new festy friends? Find the Vibe Tribe! Need someone to snap that pic of you and your crew getting your freak on? Vibe Tribe baby!
Oh, lest I forget...THE MUSIC!!! We are super-duper proud of our inaugural lineup! I mean, DANG!! These performers know how to put smiles on faces! Our booty’s will be shaking, our souls will be smiling, and our heads will be spinning! From start to finish, The Ramble lineup artists will be broadcasting fun all weekend long! The fruit is there for the picking! We just gotta show up for the harvest! And believe me, there is going to be picking all weekend long!
So chart your course to Darlington, MD this October! Your pilgrimage to The Ramble just may open up a whole new world to you!
Ramble On,
