ATMA (aht-mah) is “the true self that exists beyond the reality of worldly existence.â€
ATMA Rising is an expression of all that Western and Upstate New York have to offer. Our inaugural festival seeks to unite all kinds of people through our appreciation of the area’s finest musical and artistic talent and enjoyment of NY’s spectacular countryside and fine local products. The 2008 ATMA Rising Festival is just the beginning of an effort to connect people from all over the Northeast in a celebration that spans all cultures and tastes.
We are proud to present the 2008 ATMA Rising festival at the magnificent North Fork Music Park in Warsaw, NY. The 150-acre facility in Wyoming County features forested camping areas adjoining a lake. The permanent main stage looks out over a large meadow toward the lake and a pavilion for the local and late-night music stages.
“Beyond the reality†of upstate NY’s “worldly existence†lies the true self that is embodied in the people who live here. Help us make this year the first of many good times.
