History

Lightning in a Bottle took their name from a private birthday party in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, the birthday celebration recurred each July as a private event. In 2004, the event's co-founders and producers, who now called themselves The Do LaB, hosted Lightning in a Bottle at Gold Creek Ranch in the Angeles National Forest.[8] After a one-year hiatus, the festival was hosted at Live Oak Camp in Santa Barbara from 2006 to 2008.[8] After the eighth festival, The Do LaB relocated Lightning in a Bottle to accommodate the increasing attendance. Another one-year hiatus passed, and in 2010 the festival was held at Oak Canyon Ranch in Silverado.[6] In 2013, the event was moved to Lake Skinner in Winchester, and the 2014 festival was at San Antonio Reservoir Recreation Area in Bradley. In 2015 and 2016, the festival returned to San Antonio Reservoir Recreation Area in Bradley, California. In 2019 the Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the Lightning in a Bottle music festival.[9] In 2022, Lightning in a Bottle returned to Buena Vista Lake.

Awards

Lightning in a Bottle has won the "Outstanding Award" from A Greener Festival annually between 2011 and 2014.[10]
