Festival Story:
The Festival is about great music and good spirits. Kids get in free, and they’ll love the family area, featuring theatre, magic and music. Stroll through the international craft market displaying the work of independent vendors; visit the record tent to take home artists’ music; have a cold beverage in the tree-shaded beer garden; enjoy superb food from around the world from our concessionaires. From plate recycling to secured bicycle parking and covered viewing areas for the disabled, it’s a comfortable site for all. There’s plenty of shade, a relaxed atmosphere (what other festival allows you to bring your own picnic?) and more musical diversity than you can imagine.
You like blues? We’ve got it. Prefer celtic or traditional music? We’ve got plenty of that too, plus roots, world music, cutting-edge sounds, bluegrass, funk, country, hip-hop, dub, old-timey, and more. See artists in concert on the evening mainstage or 6 other more intimate stages, where sessions bring together musicians in unpredictable and magical collaborations that can become celtic kitchen parties, country hoe-downs, Southern Baptist tent revivals, singer/songwriter song swaps, world music collaborations or all-out blues jams.
