The 2025 Festival will be July 13-19 on the Middlebury town green.

We have a tent that seats over 200 and covers a large performance stage. The tent is surrounded by lawn with great sight lines and unlimited seating, perfect for family picnics and relaxed viewing. There’s a state-of-the-art sound system bringing music to everyone inside the tent and throughout the village green.

The Festival is free to attend but, of course, there are significant expenses to produce the week long activities. So we "pass the hat" at each show and hope everyone attending will give whatever they can to help support the Festival.
