July 5, 2025 celebrates 5 years of Almost Nakey Freedom Fest 100 years of Belmont Park, 248 years of America! BREAKING NEWS Nakey found a scroll from the founding fathers. The message inside tells of the first explorers voyage for this land. The ultimate goal: FIND FREEDOM (FEST). As the explorers docked the ship on the sand along Mission Beach, they gasped, as Mount Ravemore towered above them the neon American flag 🇺🇸 LED wall lured them into the rave like a beacon of hope, lighting up the free world. A new genre of music hypnotized the explorers into the center of the dance floor. They began twerking - a dance move unfamiliar to them. A rapper took to the stage, as Co2 cannons exploded into the sky, and the explorers knew they had discovered the American dream. Let us fulfill the greatest wishes our founding fathers set out for us. We must remind the USA what a real Fourth of July party looks like. Freedom Fest 2025 brings the biggest lineup we have ever had, massive production, a 70ft inflatable eagle - we’re landing it right on the mainstage.

"New Music for Two Voices" is a collaboration between sopranos Susan Narucki and Kirsten Ashley Wiest, featuring performances of commissioned works alongside iconic modern works from the 20th century and from earlier historical periods. The April 16 concert features the world premiere of NauðaR Níu [The Nine Needs] for two sopranos and percussion by American composer Jeffrey Holmes. Nauðar Níu refers to a particular magic charm, evoked through ancient Runic ritual and incantation. Holmes' text utilizes Runic inscriptions and carvings from the 5th to 12th centuries, eliciting an icy landscape of mythical beings, evoked through a unique compositional language: modal melodies, unique microtonal tunings and writing for the singing voice that is compelling and powerful. Both singers will play a variety of small percussion instruments made of natural materials upon which Runic inscriptions were carved: wood, stone, skin, iron, and bone. Nauðar Níu [The Nine Needs] weaves together past and present, logic and magic, in an otherworldly musical journey. The concert also includes music by Hildegard von Bingen, selections from Pascal Dusapin's Two Walking, and music by Henry Purcell accompanied by pianist Kyle Adam Blair.
