\n\nJanuary 2, 2018 Ventura, CA -- Skull & Roses is a celebration of community, one generated by the music of the Grateful Dead. Our Music.

\n\n
\n\nSnuggled up to the blue Pacific Ocean in that funky bull full of memories that many thousand Dead Heads can still feel, taste, and remember. Attendees can expect a veritable Grateful Dead Garden. The “Shakedown Street” market will be represented in ways you never dreamed of. Clothing, mind-body spirit, artisan goods and memorabilia will be available. There will also be vending from cars and blankets in the campground. We promise your stomach and taste buds will be happy and satiated with an array of cuisines and adult beverages.
\n\n\n\n
The music of the Grateful Dead wasn’t just assorted songs - it became a full, detailed language that musicians can speak and Dead Heads can dance to. It was so fertile that it generated an entire subculture, which shows no signs of flagging. But how will that carry on into the next generation? Skull & Roses answers with the spirit of the Dead that doesn’t just endure; it thrives.
