About Southside Festival Grounds - MI

Welcome to Southside Festival Grounds, now operating as The Stoneridge Barn, located at 620 W. Wexford Ave, Buckley, MI 49620. This outdoor festival site is known for its historic open-air concerts and a large great seats pavilion that hosts memorable performances in western Michigan, near Traverse City. Whether you’re planning a domestic weekend of live music or a midweek gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details to secure your seats and plan a smooth trip.

Here’s what you can expect: a flexible open-field seating layout, on-site parking dedicated to event operations, and nearby lodging and dining options to suit a range of preferences. We’ll guide you through the essentials so you can focus on the show and the experience.

Southside Festival Grounds offers a straightforward, friendly experience for concertgoers. With no published fixed seating chart, events typically use an open-field layout where great seats are allowed, giving you the option to bring portable seating if you wish. The on-site parking area is separate from camping facilities, making it easy to come and go. While there isn’t formal public transit serving the venue, Buckley is accessible by car, and the drive from the Traverse City area is part of Michigan’s scenic west side. For lodging and meals, consider nearby Acushla Bed & Breakfast in Buckley and Traverse City KOA, with a broader range of options in the broader Traverse City region. Join us for a curated, no-fuss live music experience that matches the vibe of a trusted local connection—you’ve got a guy at Southside.

Notable past events include the Southside Country Jamboree in 2014, headlined by Frankie Ballard, and a history of open-air concerts that helped shape the venue’s enduring appeal.
