GREEN RIVER FESTIVAL 30TH ANNIVERSARY!
JULY 8-10TH, 2016

We are thrilled to announce that for the first time, festival camping will be available at the nearby Franklin County Fairgrounds. The fairgrounds offers over 40 acres of flat open camping area and includes RV electric hook-ups, multiple bathrooms with showers and a weather emergency shelter.

All camping passes include a festival pass, plus parking with free shuttle buses to and from Greenfield Community College.

The Green River Festival is Western Massachusetts' signature summer event. For one weekend every July, Greenfield Community College hosts an outrageous celebration of world class music, great local food, beer & wine, a handmade craft fair, and lots of family games and activities. We top it all off with four hot air balloon launches and a spectacular Saturday night balloon glow.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC.

The Green River Festival has hosted dozens of legendary performers from many genres of music from folk to indie rock, reggae to Cajun & Zydeco, Alt. Country to blues and everything in between. This musical smorgasbord unfolds with over 30 bands on three stages featuring easy access plus great sound and sight lines. Youre guaranteed to discover your next favorite band.

BRING THE KIDS.

The festival provides a most welcoming environment for families. Children under 10 are FREE and so are all the games and activities. We have childrens music performers, a kids activity tent, games, circus acts, a Mardi Gras parade and lots of surprises. We also have acres of lush lawn for a good game of Frisbee.
