"Music and art in nature" is a central theme at Full Moon Resort. Music is always in the air, with summer shows in the expansive Concert Tent, parties and dances in Roadhouse, acoustic performances in the artistically rustic Café, and jam sessions in the Barn.
Insuring the highest quality production and presentation, the directors of Full Moon Resort are highly-regarded music industry professionals with years of experience in studio management, concert presentation and facility operations. Whether for a “boutique festival,” concert performance, seminar, workshop or retreat, each event at Full Moon is managed with exceptional attention to detail and outstanding customer service.
Each music event is designed to integrate the vision of the host artist or group with the comprehensive services that Full Moon has to offer. Along with the music, event packages include superb catering, comfortable country inn accommodations, camping and access to Full Moon's one hundred acres of picturesque grounds. Such events offer artists and attendees alike the unique opportunity to spend quality time together at this lovely farm-like, mountain resort – sharing in the music, whether the setting is a concert, workshop or an impromptu jam on the porches or around the campfire.
