A TWO‑DAY FAMILY FRIENDLY FREE‑WILL DONATION FESTIVAL – with multiple stages featuring a refreshing variety of folk/roots/Americana performances. Are you itching to catch some live roots music in a great outdoor setting? Are you a musician that loves to jam with other musicians? You'll find it all here! We now have 4 ongoing jam tents – bluegrass, old‑time, folk‑folk‑mix, and one for the very beginner. There are kids' activities, 30+ music workshops (all levels), a YouthFolk Tent, festival store, opening & closing community sings, and a drum circle each day. Our Saturday night headliner is NEFESH MOUNTAIN. Food trucks on site all day.
