What a special year 2021 was with a return to #liveatlagunitas with a short yet mighty season!  After a few years of hunkering down, what better way to celebrate than to reunite at our Lagunitas Amphitheater stage seeing old friends and making some new ones along the way.  The addition of comedians to the roster was the bright spot we all needed and certainly reinforced the mantra that laughter is indeed the best medicine!

And to top it off, all net proceeds from the season benefitted the National Independence Venue Association (NIVA). We were able to donate $20,000, partnering with them in their mission to #SaveOurStages, a cause to protect independent venues, promoters, and festivals during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
