Founded in 2002 by Capt. JK McKnight and an ambitious deck crew of young volunteers, The Forecastle Festival has grown from a small community gathering into a major national festival, attracting 75,000 travelers annually. The event has received numerous accolades, like being named one of the "coolest festivals in America" by Rolling Stone and among the "Top 101 Things to do in America" by SPIN Magazine, but it's more than that.

This year, headliners include LCD Soundsystem, Odesza, Weezer, Sturgill Simpson, Cage the Elephant and many, many more!

As Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips put it after his 2010 performance, “I hope Forecastle lasts 100 years. We’ll play as many as we can.”

We hope so too, Wayne. We hope so too.
