Fresh Grass Festival Tickets

Fresh Grass Festival is more than a performer—it’s a movement in roots music that brings together traditional and contemporary artists for immersive, multi-stage experiences. At MASS MoCA in North Adams, and previously at The Momentary in Bentonville, Fresh Grass blends on-site workshops, commissions, and museum-integrated experiences that celebrate the craft of folk, bluegrass, and related roots genres.

As a performer, Fresh Grass Festival embodies a commitment to community, sustainability, and artist development. The festival's ecosystem includes the FreshGrass Awards, which support emerging talent with cash prizes, instruments, and studio time at Compass Records. Winners often gain future festival slots, helping sustain a vibrant, evolving roots scene.

North Adams, MA, hosts Fresh Grass Festival with four stages across the MASS MoCA campus, plus FreshGrass Commissions and hands-on artist workshops. The festival is known for eco-friendly practices, including partnering with One Tree Planted for tree planting and eliminating single-use plastics from vendor operations. While the Bentonville edition has concluded after five years, FreshGrass continues to foster year-round music initiatives through The Momentary and the FreshGrass Foundation.
