IMAGINE ZERO: An aspiring zero waste and zero carbon emissions music festival with performances by Dawes, Kat Wright, Myra Flynn, Ben Kogan Band, Michael Daves, Brandon Heisler and Billy Wylder.

HOW WAS IMAGINE ZERO BORN?

Two friends who are passionate about helping the environment, Ben Kogan and Cliff Johnson, talked about how to bring two of their favorite things (music and eco-friendly iniatitives) together in the fall of 2022. By December, they decided to turn that dream into reality and create Imagine Zero.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF IMAGINE ZERO?

To bring people together to enjoy great music in a way that minimizes the impact on the environment and allows us all to learn together how to foster a better path forward for environmental stewardship.

SOME OF OUR ASPIRATIONS

• 100% Renewable Energy on site
• Zero Waste (Reusable cups, plates, water refill stations etc.)
• Incentivize low carbon/zero carbon band and fan travel
• Contract with eco-friendly vendors and partners
• Comply with all 6 musicians for sustainability initatives

Accessibility

• There will be designated handicap parking spaces available
• Accessible restrooms will be available
• Please note we are on private naturally flat and rolling farm grounds. Imagine Zero has attempted to make the area as accessible as possible, however, some areas are beyond our abilities to make completely accommodating.

Parking

SolarFest has roughly 1500 parking spaces including those reserved for handicap, staff and the performers. Ticket sales cap at 3000 so it is highly encouraged that you carpool or use ride share apps! It’s better for the environment and you get more time to hang with your friends! The town of Brandon is approximately 1 mile from the venue and you will need to park and walk or use a ride share app if spaces run out.

Food & Drink

There will be a wide selection of food vendors within the venue so come hungry! We do allow small snack bags or snacks that fit in your pocket. What we don’t allow are coolers or picnic baskets. We will have plenty of amazing food options to choose from. We encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottles (water stations will be available onsite) .
