Good Times at Music Festivals

The Big Ponderoo music festival returns to Sisters on June 28-29 with bluegrass, alt-country, and Americana music on two stages at Village Green Park, right in the heart of town. SFF Presents, who stages this festival as well as the Sisters Folk Festival later in the year, is out to create an experience that is more intimate than the huge corporate festivals of summer. “At Big Ponderoo, we’re on a mission to bring our 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,” says SFF Presents Executive Director Crista Munro. Tickets are available at http://www.aftontickets.com/BigPonderoo. 

The three-decade-old Sisters Folk Festival has become a signature event for Sisters — and one of the most highly regarded events on the summer circuit for artists.

Staged all across town, the Festival is a unique experience that makes it a destination festival for the audience and artists alike. This year’s event is set for September 26-28.

Both festivals are offered by the organization SFF Presents, which stages music events throughout the year, and also offers a wide array of music and arts programming for youth and adults. For information, visit https://www.sffpresents.org.
