Heptagames, a yearly, weekend-long music and arts festival produced at-cost by Brooklyn venue The Silent Barn in collaboration with site-specific game designers Franklin Chthonics, is caravanning to Franklin, New York a week from Saturday. The festival will feature group gaming, food by The Trough (Silent Barn’s resident restaurant), and music from Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders, Eric Timothy Carlson, Nonhorse x DJ Housewife. Art installations will also dot Franklin Chthonics’ 500 acres. The ticket price includes camping (though the site also features a large barn for those desiring covered accommodations), activities, and food. If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the city, you can purchase tickets here and read more about the festival below.
