Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival Tickets

The Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival is a cornerstone of the Northeast’s live music scene, staged at the scenic Trumansburg Fairgrounds just outside Ithaca, New York. Since its founding in 1991 by Donna the Buffalo and collaborators including Jeb and Jordan Puryear, the festival has grown into a four-day, multi-stage celebration that showcases a broad spectrum of roots and world music. With a GrassRoots Culture Camp leading into the weekend and family-friendly policies (kids 12 and under free with a paying adult), it’s the kind of event you plan around, not just attend. We’ve got you covered with the latest tour info, artist lineups, and practical details to help you secure your seats for an unforgettable experience.
