What The Funk?

What it is! We’re a growing community of funksters so inspired to celebrate and explore the legacy of funk we founded a 501(c)(3) nonprofit called Down To Funk Fund for the purpose of producing Down To Funk Festival.  Both are focused on nurturing funk’s rich history of promoting cultural connection, creative expression and social consciousness through feel-good-do-good groove music.  Can you dig it?

The 1st Annual Down To Funk Festival will debut August 14th-16th, 2026 at YMCA Camp Jones Gulch in La Honda, California.
