The 33rd Annual Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music & Dance is set to transform the Trumansburg Fairgrounds into a four-day celebration of art, community, and global sound next weekend, July 17–20, 2025. Hosted once again by Americana mainstays Donna the Buffalo, the genre-spanning gathering welcomes more than 90 acts across four stages, with newly announced campsite availability and open volunteer enrollment rounding out the final countdown to the festival’s return.

There are few music festivals with the legacy of the High Sierra Music Festival (HSMF). After more than thirty years, HSMF has truly become far more than the sum of its parts. Sure, there's a ton of world-class music on several stages, parades, activities for kids, crafts and vendors, killer food, and all that. And of course, there's the camping scene, a hippie town that springs up almost overnight on the Plumas County Fairgrounds for the four-day festival around the Fourth of July each year.

The High Sierra Music Festival, one of California's longest-running annual music festivals, is celebrating its 32nd year on July 4-7, 2024, in the golden Sierra hills of Quincy. Headliners this year include Ziggy Marley, Primus, and Greensky Bluegrass. They will be joined by a wide variety of bluegrass, jam, Americana, funk, folk, and worldbeat acts on multiple stages at the Plumas County Fairgrounds.
