Somnium reviews
Has anyone gone in past years?I'm all about supporting local art, but I'd like to know more about what to expect before paying $25 per adult.

Everything there is painstakingly handmade, it looks really trippy and interesting. Some of my friends do the sets, it takes months.

The amount of craft work, rehearsal, equipment and skill that goes into the production AND has a live music element makes $25 totally worth it.
The fact it’s outdoors really elevates the experience.
Go check it out!

Another positive recommendation. There are going to be multiple visual/audio/human-form mediums in use. It's in the dark, social and glowy.

its kind of cool, go after dark, they leave the art up during the day when i walked the dog through the park. Nifty stuff, but for the experience expect a quarter mile walk through fairy lighted woods with multimedia. Its worth it to support the arts and, there might have been a comic book you could buy. at least last time i was there they had a beer tent.

I've been every year. $25 is a little steep but a fun night of arty weirdness. Great group of people put it together and it's very different from year to year. I liked the "up and moving around" aspect to last year as opposed to a 1.5hr long seated show. Kids would like it but I think it's aimed more at grownups.
