Set on the banks of the Hudson River, this festival was built with purpose. Inspired by the legacy of Pete and Toshi Seeger, it was about more than music—it was about community, connection, and honoring the land that hosted us.

As Production Designer and Production Manager, Movingbeam led the creative and logistical execution—from site layout and stage design to infrastructure, budgeting, approvals, and technical operations. Every detail was shaped to support the artists, the crew, and the experience.
