10th Annual Farmington Valley Music Festival - Saturday, October 18th, 2025

We are very excited to celebrate our 10th year bringing top-level talent from local, regional, and national acts. This year's headliner will be Della Mae a GRAMMY nominated all-women string band. Hailing from across North America, and reared in diverse musical styles, they are one of the most charismatic and engaging roots bands touring today. They have traveled to over 30 countries spreading peace and understanding through music. On the main stage will also be Buffalo Rose, Cold Chocolate, and the Tenderbellies. Award-winning artist Buffalo Rose hails from Pittsburgh, PA with a modern folk and Americana sound. This charismatic band weaves spiraling harmonies with gorgeously layered instrumentation. Cold Chocolate from Boston is a genre-bending band that fuses folk, funk, and bluegrass to create a unique sound of their own. The Tenderbellies are a Vermont-based string band that seamlessly blends Americana, bluegrass, new grass, jazz and rock. Our 2nd stage at the Boathouse will feature Eric Paradine, Bill Benson, Steven Harz, Wires and Wood, and Riley Cotton. This daylong event gives attendees the opportunity to hear eight different performers. There will also be a Beer Garden featuring locally brewed craft beers from over 15 CT breweries sponsored by CLARKHIRTH CPAS. Food trucks and a vendor village will also be present.

Come and celebrate our 10th year of the festival among the backdrop of beautiful fall foliage along Dunning Lake.
