Stella Natura is a multi-day outdoor music festival set in the High Sierra, presented by Pesanta Urfolk. As a festival Stella Natura does not prescribe to a single musical genera. Stella Natura seeks to bring together like minded folks to enjoy some of the best music our underground community has to offer all while camping in arguably one of the most beautiful locations on the west coast. Stella N
atura does not create a platform for political music. Stella Natura exists solely to bring the best music of the underground currents to a stunningly beautiful venue. If any motivation exists asides from the music, it is to benefit the restoration and rehabilitation of the Yuba River and it's watershed. Stella Natura is produced without the "help" of corporate sponsorship, and relies solely on community support. Thank you for helping us keep this vision a reality.
