11th Annual Farmington Valley Music Festival - Saturday, October 17th, 2026

Come and celebrate the 11th year of this fall festival highlighting music from local, regional, and national acts. The backdrop of fall colors along Dunning Lake make for a colorful venue. This year's headliner will be Howley, a new project that build Irish Americana sound with even deeper emotion and artistry. This band will deliver signature harmonies, fiery playing, and joyful storytelling audience have come to love. We will also be bringing in Pennsylvania based House of Hamill. This group is a fixture on festival stages across the US. Their original song "Banks of the Brandywine" was the Grand Prize winner in the 2024 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Beg, Steal, or Borrow, a 5-piece bluegrass band from Northern Vermont, brings their high octane to the festival. This group has play from Maine to Bermuda and dubbed a "Triple Crown Bluegrass Band" by Bluegrass Today magazine. The Clement Brothers, identical twins from New England, will be joining the main stage. The duo is a fusion of each brother's unique, musical journey, and the result is a music all its own, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.

This daylong event gives attendees the opportunity to hear ten different performers. There will also be a Beer Garden offering free samples from over 15 local breweries (sponsored by CLARKHIRTH CPAS). Food trucks and a vendor village will also be present, making it a perfect fall event for everyone!
