Good Times at Music Festivals

Remember the good ol’ days when you could go to a music festival without buying your tickets on an installment plan and paying $50 or more in service fees? Where you could bring your own chair, grab a beer in less than 10 minutes, and make friends with the people sitting around you? Where you had enough space to bust a move? 

Big Ponderoo is on a mission to bring the audience a festival reminiscent of the days before the corporate music monopoly took over — where small-town charm meets world-class live music for an unforgettable, warm, and personal festival experience. 

Created by SFF Presents, Big Ponderoo runs June 26-27, 2026 at Village Green Park, right in then heart of town. For more information visit www.bigponderoo.com.

Sisters Folk Festival, where “All The Town’s A Stage,” is an immersive experience in music and community. It is an intimate, multi-genre festival that puts great artists on seven stages throughout town September 25-27, 2026.

Founded by a group of local musiclovers in 1995, Sisters Folk Festival has grown into a destination event with an international reputation for cultivating a listening atmosphere, combined with a lively, good time. Attendees can expect a unique and transformative festival experience, beyond fantastic live music, from a blend of high profile and lesser-known artists, songwriters, and bands. They perform in intimate settings, including expansive tents, a historic church, and courtyard venues at local restaurants. For more information visit www.sistersfolkfest.org/.
