We are Family! Gathering of the Vibes is so much more than just a music festival.  While the music certainly keeps folks entertained, the thing that separates Gathering of the Vibes from other festivals is the Vibe Tribe – the amazing group of attendees who come out each year. Vibe Tribe is another word for "family."  For many of us, the Vibes is a highlight of the year – a family event that reunites old friends, while helping those who arrived as strangers form new bonds with like-minded folks.  We're truly blessed by the respectful, kind, and caring group of folks who come out to the Vibes each year and have helped carry us through 12 amazing years. It's easy to join the Vibe Tribe – just come to Vibes this year!  Bring your friends and family.  Or if it’s just you traveling solo, you're sure to end up with new friends by the time the weekend is over. The Vibe Tribe keeps in touch all year long on our message boards. It's easy to sign up and there are many different forums where we gather to discuss topics that range from parenting to poetry and, of course, music! Many Vibe Tribers also keep in touch via our myspace page. While you're here, be sure to check out our 2007 Gallery.  We have photos from every Gathering of the Vibes including the very first, Deadhead Heaven, in 1996 in our Archive Gallery. Chances are you'll spot someone you already know or a friend you just haven't met yet! Welcome to our Family!
