11th Annual Rush River Folk Festival
2024-08-31 13:00 - 20:30
Get ready for our 11th Annual Rush River Folk Festival!
Join us for our 11th annual Rush River Folk Festival at Vino in the Valley! The event features over seven hours of live music from top regional artists, and admission is free! With the beautiful valley views as their backdrop, musicians offering a grand mix of sounds and styles of folk music to serenade our guests all day long while they enjoy wine, beer, and our Italian fare (our pavilion will open starting at noon this day).
Wagon rides around the vineyard and lawn games pass the time between music sets. As the sun falls behind the bluffs and the cooler evening temps roll in, roaring bonfires take the chill off the air.
Guests are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs. What a perfect way to take advantage of our spacious and scenic outdoor venue!
