Paradise Lakes Sea Serpent

by Benjamin Lavine

Over the last 10 years that Beardfest has been here at Paradise Lakes there have been many mysterious encounters with a large “lake serpent” in these murky waters. The local rangers and scientists tell us that such a thing couldn’t exist, but the experiences of too many swimmers and late night spunions say otherwise. As the story goes, this Paradise Lake Serpent is most active in the summer a few days past a new moon and is known to light up with fury at night…be careful out on the water and keep an eye out for the lake serpent! The locals that have come into contact with it claim it’s mostly friendly, but who’s to say?!?

The Loo

by E. King

Need a break from the hustle and bustle of the Beardfest chaos? Exit and re-entry is absolutely acceptable, darling, but we've found something MUCH more convenient. Enter The Loo for an immersive experience for a bit of personal space and to relieve yourself of whatever ails you (except your bowels, we have portos for that).

The Music Makers Wall

by Jaime, Liz, & Frank of Cloud 9 Studios

We are the music makers,

And we are the dreamers of dreams,

Wandering by lone sea-breakers,

And sitting by desolate streams;—

World-losers and world-forsakers,

On whom the pale moon gleams:

Yet we are the movers and shakers

Of the world for ever, it seems.

- “Ode” by Arthur O'Shaughnessy (Stanza 1) 1873

Unmoored

by Eli Bronstein

Feeling adrift? Untethered? Lost in a stormy sea full of things you can’t control? "Unmoored" is a vibroacoustic space where you can float on ambient soundscapes and words, where storms cannot touch you and you are free to meditate on them from afar. What moments have you felt the most connected and in-tune with the universe? We have collected those moments, near and far, like a beacon for meaningful times ahead. Sit back, relax, and take it all in.

Unmoored will be open every day and night, with a special downtempo surprise music-only session sometime during the late hours of the weekend.
