The initiative of hosting the very first event, which was more of a memorial ceremony of Grateful Dead's front-man Jerry Garcia, was taken by one of the Grateful Dead devotee Ken Hays in 1996. Grateful Dead was a famous US rock band of the late 20^th century. Formed in 1965, the band cemented its place in the rock genre setting the standards for future music and left a devoted cult of 'Deadheads'. The fans of the legendary band rightly named the event as 'Deadhead Heaven - A Gathering of the Tribe'.  The tradition carried forward when the festival was held in Croton Point Park, NY in 1997 where it was named as 'Gathering of the Vibes' forever.

The festival features a list of musical performances, arts and crafts exhibitions and food activities. Hordes of people from around the world gather to enjoy this superb four days festival. Three main areas of entertainment that the festival offers include music concerts, arts and crafts and food gala. There are two stages that are built separately for live musical performances by renowned and fresh musicians. A dedicated stage known as the 'Green Vibe Stage' specifically features some of the newest and finest music bands and solo artists who showcase their flair to a large number of audiences.

The festival has been taken to six different destinations where it is equally loved by its attendants. Seaside Park has been home for 'Gathering of the Vibes' since 1999 and in 2000 it brought Grateful Dead's former band member, Bob Weir to the festival where he entertained the audience with his new band 'Ratdog'. Due to the major renovations taking place at Seaside Park, the festival shifted to a new location, Red Hook, NY in 2001, where it was attended by a massive crowed. The festival returned to Seaside Park in 2007, after holding consecutive events at Mariaville, New York from 2002-2006.
