WELCOME! You are attending one of the most fabulous festivals EVER and we are glad to have you on board for our very first year!
Obviously, you are excited and you know we are going to have a great time, but you must have questions.
For instance, what exactly IS Fusion?
FUSION is a three day festival featuring music and dance from around the world, music and dance workshops, a world market filled with amazing vendors, great foods, camping, fun, friendships, laughter, hugs, and all of the good stuff that we all LOVE!
MUSIC + DANCE + ART + FOOD = FUSION!!
When is FUSION?
The first-annual FUSION: World Music & Dance Festival will be held during May Day weekend to celebrate the arrival of Spring! The dates are May 1st to May 3rd, 2015.
Where is Fusion located?
FUSION: World Music & Dance Festival is located at Lake Casitas in Ventura, California. It’s a beautiful lake campground located in the mountains overlooking Ventura Beach. The lake not only provides hundreds of gorgeous campsites, but also our beautiful festival location with a view of the lake! The festival area is filled with grass and shade trees. It’s a lovely place to enjoy some great performances with friends!
Where do I sleep?
Lake Casitas is a stunning recreational area with several different campgrounds where you can pitch your tent or park your RV. Don’t have an RV? You can rent one from them and they will deliver it to your spot, and clean it when you leave! Some campgrounds are tent only, like our gorgeous and conveniently located VIP camp!

Where is the VIP Campground?
VIP camping is located in the Musician’s Camp inside the festival space. It is a large camping area underneath some beautiful shade trees on a rolling hilled landscape. Wake up and be AT the festival without any travel time!
Are there bathrooms and showers for campers?
Absolutely! Each beautiful Lake Casitas campground has a restroom facility and there is a main shower building near the Indian campground (I) with a boys side and girls side for showers, complete with doors for privacy. There will also be portable bathrooms inside the festival area. Please keep ’em clean and leave it as you would want to use it.
But… what if camping REALLY isn’t my thing?
We understand that not everyone loves to camp and we’ve got you covered! There are hotels nearby, about a 15 minute drive from the festival in both Ojai and Ventura.

Festivals can be really hard on the environment. Is Fusion a Green event?
