Press Release from the fest:

 

Otis Mountain Media, LLC is proud to announce the release of the full lineup of artists to perform at the fourth annual Otis Mountain Get Down this September 9-11, 2016. 

With 33+ musical acts, the lineup features a range of local, regional, national and international performers. Rather than enticing audiences with big name headliners, Otis’ line up is curated based on quality, diversity and spirit with an eye for bands on the rise. Intimate performances are not limited to Otis’ three amplified stages—artists are known to perform impromptu across the site, and through the woods. 

In addition to the music, Otis Mountain offers a venue that encourages engagement with the outdoors. Built on an old-time ski hill in the heart of the Adirondacks, Otis offers pristine campsites, hiking & mountain biking trails and little to no cell service. Festival goers can expect a weekend off the grid, full of community, art, music & exploration. 

Weekend passes are currently on sale for $50, which includes camping & parking. Children 12 and under enter free with purchase from a parent or guardian. Ticket prices will go up to $60 the week of show, if still available. 

Otis Mountain Get Down is an independent, cooperatively produced event. With no dependency on sponsorship, the focus stays on supporting artists, vendors, and the community both locally and beyond. Musical performances are multi-tracked, mastered and matched with dynamic video recordings to give artists content that showcases their live set and give audiences the opportunity to enjoy Otis year-round. The goal of the festival is to produce an experience that encourages new and meaningful interactions with art, music, the outdoors, and each other.
