After things wrap up around 10 p.m., dedicated volunteers of the nonprofit stay until the wee hours of the morning to break the portable stage down every week. But, it’s all worth it, and year after year the shows draw 2,000 to 3,000 guests per night.

The Memorial Day weekend festival at Camp V near Naturita draws a few hundred guests each year, and organizers say the intimacy is part of what makes the event special as each fan is invited to step into a different world.
