Known as the "Pineapple Isle," thanks to its past as a Dole pineapple plantation, Lanai is the sixth largest in the Hawaiian Island chain. Despite booming growth on neighboring islands, Lanai (also written as Lāna’i, the traditional spelling) has maintained the feeling of untouched Hawaii with its limited paved roads and no traffic lights.

Held twice a year in May and October, the Joshua Tree Music Festival consists of four days of global music, a world market, art installations, and all types of experiential workshops offered within a family-inclusive environment. It takes place on the Joshua Tree Lake Campground, a privately owned, 40-acre venue with campsites, hot showers, and RV hook-ups. Music festival founder Barnett English describes the inaugural festival, first held in 2003, as happening "accidentally on purpose." He first visited Joshua Tree in 2002 and fell in love with the Mojave Desert community. While in conversation with the owners of Joshua Tree Lake Campground, English noted the property would make an excellent location for a music festival. The owners agreed with English and said he should make it happen. Not one to shy away from a challenge, English did that six months later, making Joshua Tree his home. With 38 festivals under his belt, English and the Joshua Tree Music Festival have become staples within the Joshua Tree community. We asked English to share his favorite Joshua Tree spots for those visiting the area for the first or 15th time. The following are his top picks.
