Tell us about your favorite Festival moment?

  • A wonderful evening in an exquisite setting amongst the beautiful people of Ojai. We are visitors from England and we loved every minute of the concert. Thanks so much!
  • The focus on events in the bowl and in other locations was especially good.
  • Just having the opportunity to attend a relaxing concert under the stars, in an intimate bowl.
  • Enjoyed the music and, really not musically related, where I was sitting, the sun just went past the sun screen above when the concert ended.
