Northern Nights Music (NNMF) is a 3-day celebration of music, art, food and local culture that takes place annually the 3rd weekend in July. This year NNMF will be July 14-16, 2023 at Cook’s Valley Campground on the South Fork Eel River. This area has hosted many acclaimed music festivals and renowned talent over the past 20 years.

Our mission is to produce NNMF, founded on passionate support for & a strong understanding of emerging underground music industries, AND featuring sought out producers & DJs from regions around the globe. Our collective hope is to sustain NNMF as a premiere destination festival that offers a unique opportunity to fully embrace a truly Californian experience.

Lighting, sound & stage production for the stages is a collaboration between the Bay Area’s finest production teams partnering with experienced local talent. Adding to top-notch music talent, NNMF proudly features local & global arts and crafts, a collection of regional craft brews & wines, a mindful space for yoga and meditation, organic food offerings, and local non-for-profit vendors.

Aligning with the history and tradition of previous festivals in the region, we donate a portion of our proceeds from ticket & beverage sales to the Mendocino and Humboldt school districts, non-profits, and environmental groups.
