DOWN THE HILL - A Festival Legacy Reimagined
​In 2017, as the legendary Yellowstock festival unfolded, whispers spread that it might be the final chapter of its storied run. Around the same time, we reflected on the future of our own family festival, Mestfest, hosted at the same beloved location. The thought of these cherished traditions fading away was bittersweet, yet it sparked an idea.
​
Determined to carry forward the spirit of Yellowstock and Mestfest, our small but passionate crew took a leap of faith. Together, we envisioned something new—something that would honor the past while forging its own path. And so, on our own festival grounds, DOWN THE HILL was born.
​
The first edition came to life on a magical Friday night, August 24, 2018, marking the start of a new tradition filled with music, community, and shared memories.
