Langerado Music Festival
was an annual music festival, taking place in early spring in South Florida, founded in 2003 by Ethan Schwartz of South Florida Jams Productions and Mark Brown of Brown Coffee Productions. In 2008 the festival was held at the Seminole Big Cypress Indian Reservation in the Everglades. This is the same site as the Phish New Year's Eve 1999 festival. The festival features primarily music of the jamband genre, but also offers a wide selection of other musical styles and has traditionally offered a stage for local bands, as well.
The main attractions of the festival are multiple stages of live music featuring a new-age assortment of music acts. Craftsman and artisans selling unique products, food and drink vendors, and other activities from various sponsors are offered.
In 2009 the festival was planned to move to Miami, which caused huge controversy among fans who dislike the direction the festival is heading, considering it "selling out" and saying it will lose the unique character of the festival. Another concern was the availability of parking and places to stay in Miami, as many people who attended the previous festivals simply camped out at the park or nearby camping sites. On February 3, 2009, it was announced that Langerado 2009 would be canceled due to sluggish ticket sales resulting from the poor choice of locations and medicore lineup. [1]
