U.S Festivals... which are the best?

I go to Mountain Jam every year with my family and every year it is a blast! It is a small festival, but in an absolutely beautiful area and it is put on my Woodstock Radio and Warren Haynes. This area has a lot of musical history- The Band, Dylan, The Dead etc all hung out and recorded there. This festival is definitely in the spirit of those bands and the history.

I went to Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky for the first time this year. It was incredible. There was a very intimate feeling to it. Musicians were joining each other onstage every where you looked. It was not uncommon to run into members of My MorningJacket in the bourbon tent. Very well organized, incredible line-up, Louisville was a blast. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Outside Lands is a music and foodie dream. Always a great line up. Great food, great wine, great beer. And it is definitely in the spirit of San Francisco. I love this festival. I would go even if I didn't live a few blocks away.

Sasquatch is awesome. Haven't been in a number of years, but it was always a blast.
