The Cosmico story began in our backyard in the redwoods, with a simple goal: to bring people together through music.
Today, Cosmico is the heart of a greater mission to build community through the arts and entrepreneurship, showcasing and supporting creative people who put everything on the line to make magic that stirs our souls.
Each spring, we come together for a beautiful weekend to share these bounties of creation—expressions of love—music, nature, and wine.
We set our intention to give back to our community, artists and creators. Cosmico is operated as a non-profit festival, your support makes it possible to gather in celebration and pay it forward to up and coming artists, independent winemakers, chefs and artisans, and grassroots community organizations.
Cosmico is a project of The Launch Pad Foundation, Our purpose is to share live music with our community, create an immersive experience that deepens our connections and thrills the senses, through which we give back to our community
Cosmico has been raising funds for our community for 5+ years, raising over $50,000 and making donations to grass roots organizations that reflect our mission to strengthen our community. Examples of these include: Mill Creek COPE, Voices for a Safer Tennessee, Good Fire, and Scholarship for Children of Vineyard Workers, Friends of the Redwood Coast.
Cosmico is produced by the Launch Pad Foundation, with a mission to share live music with our community, giving us a chance to create an immersive experience that deepens our connections, gives back to our community, and thrills the senses.
The Launch Pad Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) founded by Chris Schultz and Anne Driscoll to strengthen communities through entrepreneurship and the arts. Over the last ten years we've built compelling programs supporting entrepreneurs at all stages including scholarships and mentorship for underepresented entrepreneurs (Stockton, Newark, New Orleans, Nashville & Memphis), startup conferences and content (TribeCon, Launch Fest, Collision, Ecosystem Summit) and most recently fiscal sponsorship for independent music festivals (Horseshoe Music Festival). Our work has helped startups and small businesses create 9000 jobs, raise $230MM in capital, and grow to 1.15MM sq ft in leases by graduates.
In 2024 we began supporting other organizations in our community as a fiscal sponsor. Today we support the work of Peptoc, Headsburg Dance Collective, and Trip the Light Fantastic, as well as the Horseshoe Music Festival.
