The Pink Moon Festival is a grassroots music and arts festival that revels in music, life, love and festival culture. In it's short three years, Pink Moon has fostered a true sense of family and community between it's attendees, artists, and staff.
Seth Abramson, creator and owner of Rock Camp Productions, started The Pink Moon Festival in 2009, in honor of his late mother Pinky Testerman. Pink Moon is held on Seth's family farm in Rock Camp, WV. The beautiful mountain top farm has been in Seth's family for four generations. Two generations are buried in the family graveyard, Pinky and her father Russell Testerman. Russell sculpted the land you see today for his children and grandchildren to enjoy; he planted trees, built the mini golf course and "bird city" and the various outbuildings for Seth to have a playground. Now that Seth has grown up (a little) he's following in his grandfather's footsteps and sculpting the land into a wonderful playground for all ages. Pinky died in an ATV accident in 2006, but she did not wish to be mourned. A life time music lover, party animal, and unique pillar of the Rock Camp Community...Pinky wished to be celebrated. Pinky wanted everyone to have fun. And so, we throw the best party we know how to throw! After touring our Giant Glowing Dragon Puppet Rodeo (Glo-deo!) across the country, we're bringing it home. Puff T. Magic-Dragon and his friends Dr. Molly and Sid Glo have hit everything from Bonnaroo to The Gathering of the Vibes and from Phish 8 (and Phish 3D) to All Good. We've hit regional fests and clubs from Virginia to NYC, and Puff's even been spotted in Times Square. With all of this practice and experience under their belts, Puff and friends are ready to rage it Rock Camp style! We've gathered all of this, all of our experience, all of our friends, the best talent around, our dragons, our puppets, our family and all of our greatest ideas to bring you the best festival experience we can. Check out our brand new Shangri-La Village located under the ~300 year old oak trees in the park where vendors, first aid, Pink Moon merchandise and a special Shangri-La DJ Stage and Tent will all be available. The black light mini golf course is also located in the Shangri-La Village. Climb Graveyard Hill for a breathtaking mountainous view and a glimpse of the entire venue! Take the opportunity to hike the trails and explore the wonders of rural West Virginia! Pink Moon is a family festival and children of all ages are welcome. Please keep in mind though that all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. So spread the word! We can't wait to see you in September!!
