What is the 3900 Festival?

33 indie bands. Camping. All ages. The 3900′ Festival is a novel idea–you take a bunch of unsigned or indie label bands and you put them all together. Throw in some camping and a beautiful location and you have all the ingredients for a magical weekend. And this has to be the cheapest festival around Portland all year. For $53 you get a two-day pass which includes camping–not bad at all! Granted there are no marquee bands on the bill, but admit it, the headliners are always disappointing anyway. This is the festival of the opening acts-a scrappy, hungry lot that takes nothing for granted and always aims to please. In other words, this should be good!
