ZA · PA · TE · O - [to tap your shoes, to dance] From September 1st to 3rd, join us at camp. Set against the natural landscape of West Virginia’s Camp Tall Timbers—a lush 2 hour drive from the heart of D.C.—the campgrounds offer scenic setups for tent-camping, with limited cabins and glamping options available. The three-day festival is a vessel for the essence of motion—and at the heart of it all: an element of playfulness. Sets at the lofty main stage are a celebration of community, ceremony, and sound. Pool parties and swims out at the lake are soundtracked by takeovers from local electronic DJs and collectives. With a lineup featuring a fusion of electronic and punk artists, collectives, DJs from D.C. and its neighboring communities, the music is nearly non-stop. Starting Friday at 8pm and ending in the early hours of Monday morning, festival goers can spend time in between sets immersing themselves in the natural world of the Blue Ridge Mountains or dining in the camp cafeteria with meal selections curated by a local chef (four meals included in ticket price). The ethos of ZAPATEO is homegrown and handspun. Weekend highlights include a special live set by Dreamcastmoe, a punk showcase, and 40+ hours of live DJ sets. It's a can’t miss for the open-minded and open-hearted curious about all things that move us.
