Within the intersection of Mendocino and Humboldt Counties lies The Emerald Triangle, crown jewel of NorCal and home to the fifth annual Northern Nights Music Festival, taking place this July 14-16. Pioneers within the festival circuit for honoring the Triangle’s thriving Cannabis industry, renowned for beachside dance parties, afternoon swims, and best recognized this year for bringing together top headliners Living Legends in addition to over 90 other incredible acts, Northern Nights is [legally] high in vibes and an annual weekend not to be missed for both city dwellers and locals alike. Tucked along the Eel River, NNMF constructs its wondrous world under the towering redwood trees at the historic Cook’s Valley Campground, just 3.5 hours north of San Francisco.
