A Wonderland of Traditional and Cutting-Edge Roots Music

FreshGrass Festivals and FreshGrass Presents, produced by the nonprofit FreshGrass Foundation, feature a diverse lineup encompassing the best in grassroots music — from traditional masters and iconic trailblazers to musical discoveries.

Our festivals are rich with original compositions, spirited contests, and spontaneous collaborations. FreshGrass is a family-friendly experience that brings its venues to joyful life with music on indoor and outdoor stages, in museum galleries, and throughout its host cities.

Our presenting shows feature some of the biggest names in roots! We proudly partner with world class venues like the Momentary, MASS MoCA, Studio 9, and others to bring fans an extraordinary live music going experience.
