Bohemian Grove is a 2700 acre (11 kmยฒ) campground located in Monte Rio, California belonging to a private San Francisco-based men’s club known as the
Bohemian Club, which was founded in 1872. The club’s membership includes many artists, particularly musicians, as well as many high-ranking business leaders and government officials.
The Bohemian Club holds a two-week encampment during July. Dozens of concerts, some scheduled and many impromptu are held at the grove’s amphitheaters. Original plays, musical comedies and historical dramas are presented each year. There is also an ongoing art exhibit, and lectures and talks on a wide range of topics from US foreign policy, Industry dynamics, and Science to musical history are discussed.
