Activities

Three Days of music

See the Music page

There is music all around, but not to be missed are the many other things to do before and after the scheduled music. The weekend will fly by, so put these few hours of freedom from your daily routine to good use. Try something new this year and be sure to make a new friend.

Family Activities Area

Located up the hill a bit past the Main Stage area.

The Family Activities area is open from 10:30 to 3:00 on Saturday and from 11:00 to 3:00 on Sunday with a variety of crafts, music, painting, and free play. Children can be creative and let their imaginations run wild. Young children should have a parent with them, older kids are fine on their own. This is a great area to spend some volunteer time helping to facilitate creativity, and drop-in help is welcome.

Morning Yoga

Start your day with yoga with Betsy Cozart CMT

Join Betsy Cozart Saturday morning from 9:00 to 10:00 and Sunday morning from 10:00 to 11:00. Everyone is welcome, all ages, experienced or not. This is a great way to start a relaxed day, good for the body and soul.

TDT Drum Circle

Join the drumming fun because everybody is a drummer at this jam!

A limited number of drums available so come early to reserve yours or BYOD (bring your own drum)! Monophonic instruments (those that play one note at a time) like flutes, horns, and didgeridoo’s are all welcome. Please leave your chordal instruments for other jams… however you can flip your guitar over and play it like a drum!

Improvisational rhythm jams facilitated by Phil-inda-Beat, the Livermore Drum Circle, and other random variables.

Evening Jams

Don’t miss the Fireside free-for-all music jams each evening (No drumming after 10pm).

Each evening when the scheduled music ends, the campfire music begins. Two Day Town volunteers will build and maintain fires in the park fire pits and everyone is welcome to come and play music, sing along, or just listen. You can also find jam sessions scattered all over Two Day Town where folks congregate to play music, chat, and tell stories. Wander around, find a spot, join in, and let the music play. Park rules require that drumming stops at 10:00 PM to respect the park campground quiet time policy, and everyone is expected to follow the policy of having no glass containers. Please be respectful to your camping neighbors as you celebrate and play music.

Hike or bike

Go on an adventure!

There are many trails in and around Rancho Los Mochos, ranging from easy walking to strenuous. There is something here to match every ability, and you can sometimes hike for quite a while without seeing anyone else. Not all trails are open to bicycles, but many riding miles are available on Mines Road. If you decide to hike or bike, be sure to tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return, and by all means watch out for Poison Oak.

Spontaneous music

Play music with a new friend!

This is what Two Day Town is all about. One of the easiest things to do is to wander around with your instrument and find someone to have an impromptu jam session with. We have very talented performers, but quite a few of the non-performers are expert with their instruments also. If you are in the beginning stages of learning, you will almost certainly be able to find someone willing to help you along the way.

Hit the grass

Play in the grass, fly a kite, throw a frisbee, roll down the hill, join a volleyball game, etc!

Take time this weekend to play. Been a while since you threw a frisbee, flew a kite, or blew some bubbles? What are you waiting for? Be a kid again while you have an opportunity! Bring some toys or do something silly and see how many others you can get to join in. Let your kids decide what you do with your afternoon and you might be surprised at how much fun they can make you have.

Pot-luck

Organize a fun pot-luck with your camp neighbors, great way to make friends!

We all gotta eat! The young lady in this picture was making new friends right and left with these sumptuous smelling ribs, and she even let her husband pretend he was the master of the barbeque. Good eating is a very popular thing to do, and it is so much better when shared with others. Invite someone you just met to join you for a meal and you may end up with a new lifelong friend. Please – no charcoal and lighter fluid.

Do nothing

Plop down in a chair, spread out on a blanket, and do nothing for a few days!

If it so suits you, feel free to do nothing at all this weekend. Let the music occupy your time and just sit back and listen. No obligations, no timetable to follow unless you want to, sleep as late as you want, and make every effort to just kick back. Take good advantage of this too-rare opportunity.
