History
The New England Americana Fest was first held in 2007, put together by the New England Americana Association, a committee of volunteers consisting of music journalists, radio personalities, talent buyers and other general Americana music enthusiasts. Like many things, the festival was paused for a few years due to the pandemic and other factors, but was relaunched in 2024.
