Langerado

Langerado Music Festival is an annual music festival in South Florida, founded in 2003 by Ethan Schwartz of South Florida Jams Productions and Mark Brown of Brown Coffee Productions. For the last two years the festival has been held at every spring at Markham Park. This year the festival will be held at the Seminole Big Cypress Indian Reservation in the Everglades. This is the same site as the Phish NYE 1999-2000 festival. The festival features primarily music of the jamband genre, but also offers a wide selection of other musical styles and has traditionally offered a stage for local bands, also.

The main attractions of the festival are multiple stages of live music featuring an eclectic assortment of music acts. Craftsman and artisans selling unique products, food and drink vendors, and other activities from various sponsors are offered. Rich Boyle is now going to appear at the festival as well as Chris G.
