Description
GREEN RIVER FESTIVAL celebrates its 23rd birthday this year. July 17 & 18, 2009!
This is the premier Franklin County Music event of the year! We take the best national talent, the greatest local food and fine crafts, the most beautiful hot air balloons and put it smack dab on the grounds of Greenfield Community College and VOILA! You are happy!
Two stages of music, last year we introduced the dance tent as a fiesta for the feet. You liked it, we're keeping it in the line up. Bring your dancing shoes!
We keep our ticket prices reasonable (with kids 12 and under FREE), parking free, our grounds clean (we are working toward zero trash!) and everyone safe (sorry, no pets or alcohol allowed).
Begun in 1986 as a balloon festival, it has gained increasing popularity each year as more and more musical entertainment was incorporated. Today it has become THE summer musical event in Western Massachusetts.
The GREEN RIVER FESTIVAL 2009 will be held Friday and Saturday, July 17 & 18 on the grounds of Greenfield Community College (I-91, Exit 26, Greenfield, MA).
Hot Air Balloons fly, weather permitting, Friday and Saturday at 6pm and Saturday and Sunday morning at 6am.
Presented by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, this celebration combines music on two stages, food, crafts, dancing, a wide array of kids activities and hot air balloon launches (weather permitting) for the Pioneer Valley's biggest outdoor event of the summer. This is the only music festival in Massachusetts that features hot air balloons and rides.
