Festival Home Stretch: August 30-September 21
We are so fortunate to have such an abundance of summer festivals in the Northeast, and this summer, the weather has been the headliner, for sure. Our Executive Director, Tom, is looking for an encore, so he'll be working SpreadMusicNow's new info and merch booth, seeing old friends and making new ones, from Labor Day weekend through to the Autumnal Equinox.
Come celebrate community and creativity at these family-friendly arts and music festivals, whose top-notch production, artisan craft and food vendors, beer and wine selections and diverse musical lineups offer a little bit of something for everyone!

***National Arts in Education Week- September 8-14***
Call it luck or coincidence, but we'll be taking advantage of the timing of National Arts in Education Week by interviewing artists, promoters and fans at Maine Folk Festival and Wormtown Music Festival to get their perspective on the impact of arts education on their lives and careers, and sharing those interviews on our social media. If you are an arts educator, come by the merch booth with some proof of that, like a school ID, and we'll give you a 20% discount on our swag!
September 13-15: Greenfield, MA- Wormtown Music Festival
This 21st annual gathering is a mainstay of the Northeast's music community, and one of the region's larger camping festivals. Featuring premier national and international touring artists and regional up-and-comers alike, Wormtown has been an incubator for touring talent.
Kids 15 and under are free and must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
