The Festival is held every
year in September, the weekend after Labor Day, in beautiful Sisters,
Oregon. The Festival is home to six stages, with our main venue at
the Village Green Park in downtown Sisters.
Sisters is located in the
foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range and the Three Sisters Wilderness
Area, the community of Sisters is a wonderful place to live
and visit. Below are some links of interest for anyone who is thinking
about coming out for the Festival. Outdoor recreational opportunities
in and around Sisters are endless, with mountains, rivers and lakes
at your back door. Bike or ride horseback on the many beautiful mountain
trails, or golf at any number of first-rate courses. Gift, home & garden,
clothing and antique shops abound for the shopper in your group, or
just relax and enjoy the clean air and incredible mountain views. There
is truly something for everyone in Sisters.
Food & Drink are
available at the Village Green Main Stage and the Sisters Art Works
Stage. Patrons are welcome to bring their food (either purchased
from one of our food vendors or from home) into the venue. Beer and
wine must remain in designated areas. There are also many great restaurants
along the walking routes between stages. Parking is available near
all the venues. Check out the map below to find a central location
to park your car. Oh, and by the way, parking is still free in Sisters.
All venues are no farther than half a mile apart. Many are much closer.
Handicapped parking is available. If you need additional help, check
with the Will Call desk for assistance.
Seating in all venues is provided. There is no need to bring your
own chairs.
