Goin’ where the water tastes like wine… 🌹🌊🎸
Welcome to Fennario Fest 2026 — a soul-soaked celebration of Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, and the free-spirited world of jam-band culture, reimagined on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
This is more than a music festival — it’s a gathering of dreamers, dancers, travelers, and Deadheads keeping the fire alive through music, community, and connection.
Spain doesn’t yet have anything quite like this — so we’re building it ourselves, guided by groove, good vibes, and the spirit of improvisation.
We’re inspired by the energy of live Dead shows, the creativity of festivals like Shakedown Street, the intimacy of a campfire jam, and the endless road trip of sound that Jerry gifted the world.
Fennario is a mythical land in the Grateful Dead songbook — a poetic place somewhere between here and the great beyond.
This festival is our version of that place.
A space where:
• Music never stops
• Everyone belongs
• And the moment unfolds without a script
Whether you’re a lifelong Deadhead, a jam-curious traveler, or someone seeking magic by the sea, Fennario Fest welcomes you home.
