Wild crafts and workshops remain at the beating heart of the festival experience, and 2025 promises one of the most exciting and expansive offerings to date. With over 200 workshops included in the ticket price, attendees can explore everything from traditional crafts and foraging to fire, den, and chocolate making to flint knapping with Will Lord, medicinal plant walks, yoga sessions, wild spas, and ceramic sessions. All experiences are designed to inspire deep reconnection with nature and self.

Alongside its vibrant cabaret offerings, Into The Wild has confirmed a diverse lineup of global artists, like Daraa Tribe with nomad tunes from North Africa, Ant Bahar Di, Ustad Noor Bakhsh from Rajasthan, UK rapper Viktus, Mongolian Odyssey’s throat singing, the Magic Tree collective, and Welsh folk artist Bethan Lloyd, plus many more.

Festival Founder Huw Williams comments: “We’re incredibly excited to bring Into The Wild back this August. Over the past 11 years, the festival has grown into something truly special. It’s a space where people of all ages can celebrate nature, creativity, and community. The response has been amazing year after year, and we can’t wait to share what we have planned for 2025.”

Environmental and social responsibility remain at the heart of Into The Wild. This year, the festival will welcome leading organizations and charities such as the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, WWF, Greenpeace, The Twelve Step Fellowship, and the Sussex Wildlife Trust, further strengthening its long-standing commitment to conservation, activism, and ecological awareness.

Originally founded in 2014, the festival has grown to create its own CIC Wilderlands, helping to Rewild, support wildlife, and create habitat for nature. The festival continues to champion a family-friendly, inclusive, and nature-focused ethos, making it a standout experience in the UK festival landscape year after year.

     “Great Vegas Festival of Beer was founded to enhance the beer drinking experience,” said Brian Chapin, founder and CEO of Motley Brews. “This year we’re taking that premise to a new level through the addition of a Friday night event, the Mad Craft Experience, that is basically a science fair for beer lovers. Both days will go beyond samplings to explore new types of experimentation with beer.” Chapin demonstrated Las Vegas’ thirst for craft beer with the inaugural Great Vegas Festival of Beer in 2011, which quickly sold out to more than 2,000 attendees. The event has grown from year to year, prompting an expansion to two days in 2017.

Mad Craft Experience

     The new Mad Craft Experience will be held from 7-10 p.m. on Friday, April 7. The food and beer-inclusive event will host various experimentations with beer pairing top chefs and brewers, as well as rare pours and special guests. The Great Vegas Grand Tasting will be held from 3-7 p.m. on Saturday, April 8, with early entry at 2 p.m. Throughout both days, Great Vegas will offer beer-infused and inspired cuisine by some of Las Vegas’ top chefs, life-sized pub games and interactive entertainment.

Tickets

     Tickets for the Mad Craft Experience start at $70 plus fees.  Tickets start at $40 plus fees for Saturday’s Grand Tasting, providing access to the festival from 3 to 7 p.m. along with a tasting glass, unlimited beer samples and entertainment options including a silent disco, BrewLogic seminars and more. Early admission tickets are also available, providing entry at 2 p.m., priced at $50 plus fees.

    VIP tickets to the Grand Tasting, Great Vegas’ most coveted credential, are priced at $85 plus a service fee, and include early entry at 2 p.m., access to the VIP Brewers Lounge, which includes a rotating tap of limited release and rare beers, a decadent spread of top-notch cuisine prepared by celebrated Las Vegas chefs, a lounge area and more. VIP tickets are limited. Tickets are available for purchase now at www.greatvegasbeer.com.

Charities…

     A portion of the proceeds from the event always benefit local non-profits. Last year’s charities included the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation and Nevada Craft Brewers Association.  More information about Great Vegas Festival of Beer is on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @MotleyBrews, or on the website at www.greatvegasbeer.com/.

“Many people don’t realize that composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, and Schubert can sound very different when played on the instruments from their own period,” says pianist Eric Zivian, festival co-founder and Music Director. “There is a warmth and depth of sound that can be truly breathtaking.”

The musicians participating in this year’s festival are drawn from the faculties of Juilliard, the Paris Conservatory, and the San Francisco Conservatory – to name a few – and include world-famous experts in historical performance.

All concerts will be held in the state-of-the-art auditorium of the Hanna Boys Center, in the peaceful, lush town of Sonoma, about an hour’s drive north of San Francisco.

Because Sonoma is in the heart of Northern California’s wine country, wines will be poured, during, and after the concerts. Buena Vista Winery is this year’s wine sponsor and on temperate nights, the glass doors of the hall will be opened directly onto the patio and guests will be encouraged to sip and mingle with the musicians.

“We have also invited top young musicians from the best conservatories to participate in our Apprenticeship Program,” adds cellist Tanya Tomkins, co-founder and Artistic Director, “We want to create an atmosphere of collaboration between experienced artists and new musicians, similar to what they do at the Marlboro Music Festival.”

Highlights will include Dutch violinist Vera Beths, playing her Stradivarius in the Schubert Cello Quintet; historical clarinet impresario Eric Hoeprich, playing clarinet trios by Haydn and Beethoven; and Elizabeth Blumenstock playing viola in Schubert’s “Trout Quintet.”

Tickets can be purchased at valleyofthemoonmusicfestival.org/concerts or by calling 1-888-596-1027 (phone purchases will incur an additional fee of $5 per event).
