a gathering in the desert

Where the rigs roll in and the stories spill out.

STO Fest is the national Storyteller owner's rally rooted in the belief that the best adventures are always better shared. 

Three nights, two days deep in the high desert of Johnson Valley, California, on a private playground called Lasertown. Expect campfires and conversations, live music, a vendor village, learning labs, great food and cold drinks — and the people who make it all worth it.

All are welcome at STO Fest.
