UpState Productions Blog: Freedom Of Expression Music Festival 2

Last year on August 12-14 of 2011 Upstate Productions hosted its inaugural Music Festival called Freedom Of Expression Music Festival or F.O.E. Music Fest. It was set to be held in Pulaski New York. With this being a first year festival Upstate Productions was decided to move it closer to New York City to Sullivan County New York and a town called Barryville. The venue was called Kittatinny Canoe and Campground, right along the Delaware River over looking P.A. and N.J. Upstate Productions chose Kittatinny for its great attractions such as river trips, arcade, pool, paint balling and a dual 300 ft zip-line.

Last year Upstate Productions had head lining artists like Skerrit Bwoy Superstar DJ Keoki and Roots Collider. Freedom Of Expression Music Festival was unlike any other music festival in the Greater Hudson Valley area. With the motto "Feel Free To Be Free", Upstate Productions did not discriminate when it came to the genres of music. From Punk to Ska, Jam to Rap, House to Dubstep it was all there in a 3 day experience to be remembered. With about 700 attendees through the weekend this small local music festival was set for big thing especially two stages, one being Main Stage which was under a huge 120X60 circus tent and River Stage right beside the delaware river. With a light show for the ages and a sound system that would blow your ear drums if the bass was all the way turned up, the vibes at F.O.E. Music Fest. were incredibly peaceful and loving. Electronic Dance Music is on the rise and with the "Ravers" motto P.L.U.R. or Peace Love Unity and Respect Upstate Productions and the F.O.E. Music Fest. team embraced it and really tried to make the festival just that.
