Details

A world-renowned innovator in festival culture, Lightning in a Bottle is California’s finest outdoor music and arts event. It combines music, art, wellness, and sustainability. Do LaB’s Lightning in a Bottle 2023 will take place in the Memorial Day Weekend May 25 – May 29 at the Buena Vista Aquatic Recreational area in central California.

 

HISTORY

Lightning in a Bottle, organized by the Do Lab, a Southern California-based creative collective, started out as a private birthday celebration in the Santa Ynez Mountains south of Santa Barbara in 2000 and has now developed into a public event.
