This June Lake Loop Performing Arts Association (JLLOOPPAA) was founded in 2010 by a consortium of local artists, musicians, business owners, parents, teachers, summer residents, visitors and devotees of the small June Lake LOOP Village, nestled on the outskirts of the eastern entrance to Yosemite, in Mono County, California.
Originally named the June Lake Loop Mountain Music Association, its mission was to cultivate a vibrant artistic community, support the local musicians, attract quality professional entertainers to the region, and to provide for local youth a free music camp. The main focus was a 5-day music festival staged at 4 different venues, including a live performance with the youth from the music camp as a culmination to their musical education.
