​

~ The Great American Total Solar Eclipse ~ Passes over our Missouri Ozark festival grounds on Monday April 8th, 2024 around 2pm. We offer an intimate wide open location to view this natural phenomena included in your ticket purchase, as well as a very special set featuring original 300+ year old string instruments the morning of the eclipse to set the stage for this cosmic experience. This will be the 2nd time in less then a decade that Astral Valley will fall in the path of totality and offer up a special Eclipse Festival for the occasion. Our 2017 Eclipse Festival, 4321 Tipper and Friends, was a sold out event so don't wait last minute to reserve your tickets.

~ The Venue is 230+ acres of gorgeous Missouri Ozarks to explore. Druzy Quartz Crystals and Lace Agate infuse the Earth here and are often found in the creek or along our hiking trails that meander through the high ridges of the St Francois Mountain range. The site features 3 large crystal clear springs that feed the creek, seasonal swimming, climbing and bouldering, mountain bike trails, and 3 caves open for exploration year round. We offer beautiful Creek Side, Forest & Meadow camping options included in the ticket price, and upgraded RV electric sites, VIP camping and Main Stage camping options available as an add-on.
