THE NEW ENGLAND AMERICANA FEST

The New England Americana Fest is an open-air celebration of roots, rhythm, and regional talent across the Americana spectrum organzied by the New England Americana Association.

It’s an all-day lineup of genre-spanning performances that highlight the richness and diversity of Americana music.

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.
