The 5th annual Sterling Stage Folkfest once again kicks off the festival season in Upstate NY. Folkfest will feature Stage favorite's Ryan Montbleau Band, Zach Deputy, Natural Breakdown, The Buddhahood, The Family Dawgz, Tim Herron Corporation, and many past performers. New to the lineup this year are Swampadelica, Rubblebucket Orchestra, and Jesse Dee. But the biggest addition to this year's event is the highly anticipated reunion of the South Catherine Street Jug Band, one of Upstate NY's most popular festival bands the past 10+ years.

Sterling Stage offers concert goers a unique concert experience, complete with 3 days of music, overnight camping, craft and food vending, and onsite art installations. Compared to larger higher priced national festivals, the Sterling Stage Folkfest is still very affordable with weekend passes priced at just $60 advance and $75 at the gate.
