Gathering of the Vibes 2011 Dates

SUMMER 2011 BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE

Wavy Gravy at Vibes 2010
by Max Flatow

Gathering of the Vibes once again convene at Connecticut’s Seaside Park on at July 21-24, 2011.

The 16th annual Gathering of the Vibes kicks off the holidays on ‘Black Tie Dye Friday’ (November 26), when Early Bird and VIP tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Early Bird camping packages will be available for a limited time at $150, a sizeable savings over the gate price, through www.GOVIBES.com. With only 15,000 camping spaces available, these tickets will go fast. RV passes are also available on a first come basis. Travel packages for non-campers include Holiday Inn Bridgeport offering free shuttle service to and from the festival.

A very limited number of VIP packages will be available and include: expedited exclusive entry, rock-star parking, shaded camping area along with catered meals, snacks and beverages. VIPers also have access to private bathrooms and hot showers all weekend long.

The rumor mill is swirling with artist announcements around the corner. The Vibes also warmly embraces new, virtually unknown artists, who may submit music for consideration at www.GOVIBES.com.

“Each year I am amazed at the spirit, the kindness that emanates from the Vibe Tribe,” commented Ken Hays, founder of the Vibes. “Our fans are dedicated, even at a time when concert ticket sales are down across the country, they continue to bring it.”

Fan support is not limited to ticket sales; it extends out to the Vibes’ many charitable causes. Last year’s charitable efforts raised $75,000 for an inner-city splash pad, and $25,000 for the families of fallen Bridgeport firefighters. The Vibes is a steward for the environment, demonstrating how to reduce carbon emissions, showcasing alternative energies, and returning the park to pristine condition in days after the event through progressive recycling initiatives. The Vibes continues to give back to the community by creating employment opportunities and offering reduced ticket prices for Bridgeport residents.
