THE FOREVER HOME INITIATIVE
LET’S BUILD THE FESTIVAL YOU LOVE A FOREVER HOME.
TURN THAT SOMETHING YOU LOVE INTO SOMETHING THAT LASTS.
For 43 festivals over 24 years, the Joshua Tree Music Festival has been more than a festival. It’s a place where strangers become family. Where you remember who you are. Where something magically real still happens. A social wellness experience thriving in plain sight.
You’ve felt it.
Now we have the chance to secure our future.
We’ve purchased the adjacent land and now we’re raising $250,000 to create a year-round space for music, art, wellness, and human connection.
WE ARE DIGGING DEEPER ROOTS.
A FEW WORDS FROM

EXPERIENCED
TEAM
Dedicated people making the magic happen.
WE KNOW THIS WORKS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT LASTS.
WHY NOW
THE WINDOW IS OPEN.
We’ve been building toward this moment for 24 years. Now three things are converging at once:
THE LAND IS READY.
We have the opportunity to activate the land for year-round use. We’re ready for that timeline.
THE COMMUNITY IS HERE.
24 years of friends bringing more friends. Twice a year. Organic growth.
THE VISION IS CLEAR.
From temporary to permanent. Experiential gatherings beyond the two weekends a year.
This is the fork in the road: build the floor now, or keep renting our future.
WE’RE CHOOSING TO INVEST IN LONGEVITY.
TRANSPARENCY
WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
Towards making the festival sustainable, and creating a thriving cultural oasis.
LAND
ACTIVATION
Permits, environmental studies, legal, compliance. The unsexy paperwork that makes everything else possible.
BUILD
INFRASTRUCTURE
Shade, stages, structures, lighting, site development. A place that works year-round.
CREATIVES
ARTIST SUPPORT
Fair pay for musicians, artists, and supporting global voices.
PEOPLE
YEAR-ROUND CREW
Sustainable wages for the people behind the scenes, organizing, building, managing.
VISION
PROGRAMMING
Workshops, residencies, and gatherings beyond festival weekends. The 365-day calendar starts here.
THE ASK
CREATE WHAT COMES NEXT.
A HOME FOR CONNECTION AND CULTURE.
As co-creators, you’re helping anchor something that already exists. Independent festivals and cultural venues are disappearing. Costs are rising. The world of live music and real community is under pressure from all directions.
$250,000 moves us from temporary to grounded, from seasonal to year-round, from fragile to resilient.
YOUR SUPPORT HELPS MAKE SOMETHING RARE TAKE ROOT.
