Woollystar Music Festival returns to Markleeville

Margo Cilker | Jen Borstcrop

The folk- and singer/songwriter-themed music festival is returning to Woollystar Ranch in the Markleeville area from June 16 to 18. This intimate, outdoor festival will include two days of live music, an evening movie showing and a nature walk.

Singer-songwriter Margo Cilker is among the performers at this year’s festival. Her debut album “Pohorylle” came out in 2021 to rave reviews and a slew of headlining festival performances. Her highly-anticipated follow-up, “Valley of Heart’s Delight,” will be released later this year. Cilker performs alongside The Brothers Comatose, Wreckless Strangers, Ismay, The Coffis Brothers, Jenner Fox, Qiensave, The Live Oaks, Agouti and Los Cenzontles.

Tickets are on sale online and at the Markleeville General Store, including for RV and tent camping. Food will be provided by Out West Cafe and the bar will be provided by and will benefit nonprofits Alpine Watershed Group and Alpine Trails Association. | woollystar.com
