First City Festival is a nonprofit, community-centered music event producing bluegrass, Americana, and roots music with a family-friendly vibe. Held at The French Commons in Vincennes, Indiana, the festival is organized by First City Music Festival, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that directs proceeds toward local scholarships and community programs.
