Make a difference, make a small change today for a brighter tomorrow. Here is what We Earth has to say about the festival.
Ranchita Rocks is a music festival taking place on September 12th, 13th, and 14th in San Diego’s wondrous back country landscape. It is this same landscape the nonprofit organization putting it together are trying to protect. 100% of the proceeds are to help fight a proposed 150 mile long transmission line that would cut through Anza Borrego Desert State Park, while at the same time help San Diego County achieve a long-term goal of utilizing renewable and clean energy.
A slew of jam oriented bands will headline the festival, including Yonder Mountain String Band, Bass Nectar, Melvin Seals & JGB, as well as a variety of electronic acts and DJs. Also scattered throughout the three days will be a number of comedians, aerial performers, beer and wine vendors, kids activities, and camping opportunities. Basically the fun starts at noon on Friday and doesn’t stop until the final band exits the stage on Sunday.
Ranchita Rocks serves as the perfect reminder that fun and community service need no lines of separation. Hosting such a festival in the open beauty of the desert reminds attendees that such places can be taken away from them permanently if they don’t create the demand to keep them free–free of energy plants that produce heaping amounts of carbon dioxide in particular. This year’s event will emphasize the need for cleaner energy by utilizing biodiesel and wind and solar technologies to power the festivities.
“We strongly believe that energy does not have to be imported over dangerous high voltage transmission lines and that renewable energy should be produced locally for local consumption,” said Carolyn Morrow, who solicited nearly $60,000 in donations of cash and services to stage last year’s feat.
