"SFF Presents knows what they’re doing, and it shows. That’s true not just operationally, but artistically as well. The lineup for the 2026 edition of Big Ponderoo is stacked in a way that emphasizes quality over quantity, with 15 artists scheduled to play over two days." - Ben Salmon, The Bulletin.

Good times, less waste. 🌲♻️🎶 At Big Ponderoo, sustainability is part of the experience. Every adult ticket includes a reusable cup, free water refill stations keep bottles full, and our free Bike Valet makes it easy to leave the car at home. We prioritize keg-served beverages, provide composting and recycling, and even work with artists to reduce single-use plastics backstage. Look out for our Zero Waste Team in green stationed throughout the park, making sure garbage is properly sorted and removed!

These efforts are made possible in part by support from the Can'd Aid Crush It Campaign and The Environmental Center. Together, we're working toward a greener festival, one small step at a time. DO YOUR PART: Make sure to bring your own cup to our free Thursday night concert, bring a reusable water bottle, and carpool or ride your bike to the park! 🙌
