The sixth annual installment of Enchanted Forest Gathering, Northern California’s celebrated music, yoga, flow-arts, and conscious movement festival, has just announced its most heavy-hitting music lineup to date.

Taking place July 22-24, 2016, the Gathering’s headliners include England’s forefather of psychedelic electronica Shpongle, the festival circuit’s unofficial Funkiest Diplomat The Polish Ambassador, plus MartyParty and Ooah (of The Glitch Mob) who combine forces as the melodic bass duo PANTyRAiD making a highly-anticipated return after a three year hiatus. Rounding out the electronic list of headliners is West Coast bass movement champion Minnesota and soulful Chicago trio Autograf.

With over 50 acts playing across four alluring stages – the River Stage, the Hearth Stage, the Mighty Oak Stage and the Shower Party Stage – Enchanted Forest Gathering combines the close knit community vibes of a small festival with the upscale caliber of production and talent of a larger festival. The result is a unique, holistic, transformational experience that the festival’s founders have light-heartedly dubbed as “Sacred, sexy, silly and saucy.”

By day, Enchanted Forest Gathering provides attendees with a myriad of intellectual and body motivational activities including educational talks, forums, dance and flow classes, yoga, workshops and music at the River Stage.

At sunset and continuing under the moonlight; the Hearth, Mighty Oak and Shower Party stages will play bassy-deliciousness for participants to feast their ears on until the wee hours of the morning. And for the night owls, the Nectar Temple healing area and the amalgamation of healing stones at the Crystal Dome will always be available for exploring.

At Yuri’s Night your evening will be filled with dancing, drinks, glow sticks, costumes, and all things space. You might bump into an astronaut, a rocket scientist or Mars rover mission controller at the party… You start at the LaunchPad Pre-party upstairs to meet your crewmates, then listen to a veteran space explorer share her experiences first hand, then we bring the lights down for you to take your own epic journey. DJ Dynamix will be bringing you sick space beats until midnight and we will be dancing under the Space Shuttle Endeavour at the Samuel Oschin Space Shuttle Endeavour Pavilion celebrating space, art and the power to bring us all together here on Spaceship Earth.

Don’t miss your chance to meet a legend of space! Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon on July 20, 1969 with Neil Armstrong as part of Apollo 11 and a full scale inflatable model of the Mars Rover Curiosity as well as a handful of other rovers to check out, and enjoy an epic dance party under the Space Shuttle Endeavour! 

The evening culminates with an epic dance party under the Space Shuttle Endeavour! There will be music all night provided by DJ Dynamix. They’ll be bringing you sick space beats until midnight. It is a unique opportunity to party under a national treasure. They will also kick things off with a special David Bowie tribute to honor the epic contributions of the late space musician.

A new organic and vegan restaurant recently opened in Silverlake called Little Pine Restaurant. The concept was created by musician Moby, who opened the restaurant with chef Kristyne Starling (former chef de cuisine at Aventine). Moby says, “the food at little pine is, of course, why the restaurant exists.  I don’t eat non-organic and non-vegan food at home, so i don’t know why I’d serve anything other than organic and vegan food in my restaurant.”

Little Pine offers mediterranean inspired California cuisine featuring 100% organic plant-based produce and ingredients. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, and weekend brunch, and features an extensive wine and beer list.

The place was designed by L.A.-based Studio Hus along with Moby’s hand and heart.  More charm than chic, this plant-based eatery is a welcoming oasis in the forest of Los Angeles.

Little Pine will also include a small retail space in the front with art books, candles that smell nice, teas, and soaps.

The room features lots of pinewood, a long banquette with patterned pillows and a larger dining table tucked into a cozy nook, where you’ll find a wall covered in one of Moby’s prints of snow-covered trees from Mt. Baldy.
