Named one of “fifty essential summer music festivals” by The New York Times, Green River Festival celebrates thirty two years with three days of music: a spectacular lineup of over 40 acts on four stages, the best in local food, beer and wine, handmade crafts, a wide array of kid’s activities, camping, and hot air balloon rides and a balloon illumination, for Western Massachusetts’ largest outdoor event of the summer. This is the only music festival in the country that features hot air balloons.
