Tussey Mountain to Host Happy Valley’s First Mojofest. What to Know Before You Go

Happy Valley’s first Mojofest, a grassroots Woodstock-inspired music festival, will take over Tussey Mountain on Saturday, April 18, bringing a full day of live music, vendors, food and art to Centre County.

The multi-genre festival will take place from 2  to 10:30 p.m. Tickets start at $30, and the event is open to attendees 18 and older.

The festival will feature two stages with a mix of indie, rock, country and DJ performances, along with food trucks, bars, vendors and live art installations. Roughly 40 vendors are expected as part of a “shakedown street” marketplace.

Free shuttles will run continuously between downtown State College outside of Champs Downtown and Tussey Mountain throughout the day, offering the primary transportation option for festivalgoers.

Social media posts emphasize the shuttle system as the primary mode of transportation, aiming to streamline access and reduce congestion on event day.

“With around 40 vendors in our shakedown street, food trucks, live art installations, and more, the field will be full of the best our community has to offer,” organizers said.

The lineup includes a slew of local and touring artists, bands and DJs:

• 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. – Soho & Price

Mojofest began in 2021 near the University of Massachusetts Amherst as a grassroots music event aimed at connecting college communities through live performances. The festival was founded by Charley Blacker through Local Mojo, an organization focused on promoting local music scenes across genres.

Since its launch, Mojofest has expanded to multiple locations, drawing growing crowds. More than 4,000 attendees traveled to Hadley, Massachusetts, for the 2025 festival, signaling increasing demand for the event’s blend of live music and community atmosphere.
