Loving this painting of #TedeschiTrucksBand! Thanks to @gaylekabaker for capturing the magic of their #GreenRiverFest set!
The first year of our #GreenRiverFest Campground was a success! Thanks to all our campers who joined us for some pickin' around the fire, breakfast treats by @florencepiebar and Kiwanis Club, and general merriment around camp all weekend. See you next year! ⛺️
The weather prevented us from being able to offer those amazing balloon rides this year, but we are hoping the #wedowhatwewant New England weather gods will grace us with some lovely sky-riding weather at #greenriverfest '17. Here, a retrogram from GRF2015, 📷@lizgard: "One of these days, I'll be climbing into one of those big baskets to let an oversized balloon carry me into the skies. For now, wanderlust + longing = ignited. #greenriverfestival2015"

Happy #greenriverfest food vendors Ahli Baba's made us happy, with smiles and kebabs and sweet potato fries all weekend long. Thanks to all the terrific vendors for the incredible hard work, professionalism, and love they put into all their delicious #GRFestfood. Miss you already.
We were lucky enough to have both #deansbeans and #piercebros at the #greenriverfest keeping us in coffee all weekend long. Hot, iced, and everything in between. Here, Pierce Bros. working hard to help us bust through the fog and keep dancing!
Just two of the hard-working festival staff who made the magic happen this weekend: thank you, Riley and Spencer!! #greenriverfest #timetosleep
We braved a bit o' weather this weekend at the #greenriverfest, and had an f-in' blast. Thank you to the @signaturesoundsrec and festival crew -- staffers, volunteers, vendors, and stage and lighting -- for bringing together an amazing 30th birthday party for the GRF. And thanks to YOU, our intrepid, trusty, delicious fans, for being the icing on the cake. We love you!

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

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. You’re 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 children’s music performers, a kid’s 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. 

COME HUNGRY

The Pioneer Valley is home to hundreds of great restaurants, and we’ve invited the best to come and cook for you. Whatever you crave, you’ll find it at the festival from burgers and pizza to ethnic and vegetarian specialties. Top it all off with a variety of dessert and beverage options. 

COME THIRSTY (BEER & WINE!)

The Green River Festival is happy to welcome The Berkshire Brewing Company’s beer and wine tent. Now you can enjoy a premium micro-brew or glass of local wine at the festival.

GREAT SHOPPING

The festival also features the Makers Market - a collection of regional artisans with a spectacular array of handmade crafts, jewelry, clothing, and more. We also have face-painting, henna artists and massage therapists.
Interested in vending? Head over to the F.A.Q. page for more information. 

THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE

Why not include a once in a lifetime event as part of your festival experience? We have FOUR hot air balloon launches throughout the weekend and rides are available. There’s nothing like floating over the festival and down the valley on a lovely summer evening.  Don’t forget the camera.
