A Celebration of American Music
The Sisters Folk Festival is a three-day celebration of American roots music, from blues to bluegrass.
The 2010 Sisters Folk Festival will be Friday, September10 through Sunday, September 12.

Many greats have graced the stage since the initial Festival in 1995, including Ian Tyson, Tim O'Brien, Jesse Winchester, Natalie MacMaster, Chris Smither, Dave Carter, The Waybacks, John Gorka, Ruthie Foster, The Waifs, The Wailin' Jennys and more.

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.
