He continued, “after a multi-year absence, both the ‘Bugs on Your Tee Golf Outing’ and the ‘Bugs in Your Teeth Motorcycle Ride’ are happening this year.” Motorcycle Riders will meet up with ekoostick hookah drummer Eric Lanese and other fun folks on Saturday, September 5th, at the Land Grant Brewing Company in Columbus (just 30 minutes from Frontier Ranch). Have lunch, hang out then ride as a group to Hookahville (route to be determined). No need to sign up, just show up.

If you are arriving for early bird camping on Thursday and/or arriving at Hookahville on Friday, there’s usually a mini-ride that morning from the ranch to Columbus to meet everyone.

Hookahville, the brainchild of the band ekoostik hookah, was first held in 1994, on bandmember Dave Katz’s land. The event grew into a biannual festival every Memorial and Labor Day weekend. The music festival has had so many amazing guest artists over the years. Some new, and some well established acts such as Ralph Stanley to Willy Nelson, Ratdog, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic and so many more. The essence of the festival has never changed and in 2015, Hookahville still brings great bands together with fans and friends in a cool setting with a unique vibe celebrating music, friends and fun with no hassles or bad attitudes and is the way they’ve liked for more than 20 years. Come out and visit ekoostik hookah and close out the summer with camping, music and fun for the whole family. Children 12 and under are always FREE with a parent.
