Don’t Miss Briggs Farm Blues Festival, NEPA’s Most Celebrated Summer Music Festival

Since 1998, Briggs Farm Blues Festival has welcomed some of the biggest names in the world of Delta Blues. And, every year, they’ve also opened the farm’s fields and forests to an ever-growing horde of loyal weekend visitors.

This year’s Briggs Farm Blues Festival opens on Thursday, July 10 and rolls on through Saturday, July 12.

The always-impressive lineup features over 20 widely recognized national, regional and local acts on both the Main Stage and the Back Porch Stage.

As usual, the festival features reserved campsites and there’s always room in the expansive General Camping Area. Visitors can also make use of the festival’s designated canopy section. The Vendor Village features over 50 stalls offering handcrafted instruments, clothing, records, craftwork and so much more. (Whispering… you can even rent your very own private port-a-potty).
