The festival also will feature food and drink, a communal mural project, educational offerings and a kid zone with children’s activities.
Tickets for the 50-year-old conservation watchdog’s Wildfest are $45 for general admission and $150 for the “Gonzo Ticket.” General admission tickets and volunteer sign-up available at http://www.wildernessworkshop.org.
