HOG RANCH RADIO
The Hog crew operates a low power FM radio station which exists only at the Strawberry Music Festivals. Besides transmitting close to all of the live music from the Main Stage in stereo, the Hog’s mission is to reflect the spirit and the sounds of Strawberry back to itself. In addition to remote broadcasts, including the Band Scramble, the Breakfast Club, Play Stage performances, and special Camp Jams, we also utilize the Hog to keep our audience safe and informed throughout the festival. If you’d like to see how pirate radio works at the festival, take the Hog tour on Saturday morning. Don’t forget to stop by the Hog tent to purchase a one of a kind Hog Ranch Radio T-Shirt.
AMY'S ORCHID LOUNGE
Amy’s Orchid Lounge is a festival highlights for 21+ Strawberrians, encouraging folks to keep the music going. If you can’t make it to Ponderosa Hall, worry not—Hog Ranch Radio broadcasts the performances all three nights: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Tickets for Amy’s Orchid Lounge can be purchased for $10 on-site at Hog Ranch Radio each day of the show when the Music Meadow opens.
PICKIN' PORCH
Ever wonder where the music comes from between Main Stage acts? The Pickin’ Porch features short sets of 15 minutes from a variety of performers. This special stage keeps the music going!
BAND SCRAMBLE
Camp musicians one and all gather at 11:00am on Thursday to kick off the weekend’s festivities. Musicians are invited to bring their instruments and get randomly blended into a band! Each group has one hour to come up with a band name, two songs, a joke, and create a Hog Radio station ID. After the hour of practice is up, it’s a live show and broadcast on the radio! The champion is chosen by audience response and will take home silly prizes and bragging rights. It’s a fun event to see in person or hear live on Hog Ranch Radio while setting up camp! Sign-ups take place on Thursday at 11:00 am. Performance and broadcast at 1:00 pm.
BREAKFAST CLUB
The Hog’s typical broadcast day begins with the Breakfast Club on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings. Head on down to the Breakfast Club for homemade morning music live or enjoy it on the Hog Ranch Radio with your morning coffee at camp. Anyone can perform at the Breakfast Club and earn a free breakfast while doing so!
Signs ups to play the Breakfast Club take place the preceding afternoon at the Hog tent.
Breakfast Club is CASH only. ATMs are available on-site.
THE REVIVAL
Strawberry brings you the Revival from 9:00am-11:00am on Sunday morning. The Revival is a celebration of music and the human spirit. A great way to kick off the last day of the festival, the Revival is best enjoyed in person, but you can always stay in bed and hear it on Hog Ranch Radio. The Revival begins with storyteller B.Z. Smith spinning berry beautiful yarn and proceeds to showcase festival favorites with a special reverence. Stick around after the Revival to enjoy the Kids’ Parade.
Kids of all ages can delight in a variety of activities, including musical performances for kids, storytelling, the “Sunday Story Swap”, yoga, dance workshops (swing, contra, Caribbean, aerobics, and more), art & photography workshops, Fiddle for Kids and Adults, New Games, nature programs, family sing-a-longs, and much more. The Strawberry Kids’ Parade on Sunday morning after the Revival is a highlight of the weekend. You will find a complete list of the activities offered in your festival program, available upon arrival at the festival.
