SUMMARY:Green River Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Green River Festival started as a low-key musical happening at Greenfield Community College in 1986. It’s experienced multiple upgrades and expansions over the years\, transforming into one of the premiere alternative music festivals in the region. The three-day festival hosts headliners Charlie Crockett\, Spoon and Geese\, alongside an impressive slate of talent that checks all the boxes. Rising stars\, established legends\, international\, national and local talent. The funky backdrop of pastoral Pioneer Valley only adds to the ambiance.

SUMMARY:Someday Fest
DESCRIPTION:Someday Fest returns for a two-day stint at Sanborn Court. The celebration stretches inside and outside Warehouse XI\, lending the affair a block-party-type atmosphere. Expect a healthy dose of indie music. When a pair of local fest staples (Rock N Roll Rumble\, Nice Fest) bowed out in 2025\, there was an opportunity for fresh ideas to fill the void. Someday Fest\, an offshoot of the possibly defunct online publication Some\, threw its hat into the ring with its inaugural event last year and a slew of cultural happenings since. Go have Some fun. Free.

SUMMARY:campfire. festival
DESCRIPTION:Imagine getting to see dozens of your favorite acts all in one weekend. Not in a festival field hundreds of yards away\, but in an intimate\, seated space. Catch a glimpse of what it is like backstage at a big festival – artists hanging out and trading songs – on stage one minute and hanging out in the audience watching the next set right after. This is the scene at the Campfire Festival at Club Passim.

SUMMARY:Somerville Porchfest
DESCRIPTION:The one\, the only: Somerville Porchfest. Arguably\, one of the top torchbearers of the Porchfest phenomenon nationally. Without a doubt\, the leading light of the local Porchfest scene. The Somerville version divides the city into three zones\, West\, Central and East\, and a rolling tide of music breaks across the city in that order from late morning until dinnertime. There is perennial chatter between the Yimby and Nimby crowds about how to “fix” Porchfest. Who says it’s broken? After the Guster Affair in 2024\, some streets were designated as “no shows allowed” and other streets “no cars allowed” (which local drivers dutifully ignored) in 2025. With a shakeup in leadership at the top of the Somerville Arts Council\, could further changes be in store? So far all that’s been announced is more portable toilets.

SUMMARY:Tunes on the Charles
DESCRIPTION:There’s a new Irish festival in town: Tunes on the Charles. Information is still trickling in. The Instagram account has only eight posts. Media inquiries have so far gone unanswered. But you know the drill. This is a traditional Irish music festival in a metro area that loves its Irish heritage. Concerts\, classes and good old-fashioned craic is on the menu at “on the nose” locations such as The Druid\, The Burren\, McCarthy’s\, An Sibin and wild card Lilypad. The new festival doesn’t have the decadeslong roots of local traditions such as the annual Boston Celtic Music Festival. But with solid institutional support from Irish cultural organizations on both sides of the Atlantic\, this newcomer should be ready to hit the ground running.

SUMMARY:The Town and the City Festival
DESCRIPTION:Lowell keeps popping up in the headlines of clickbait articles about “top places to live.” The Town and the City Festival (named after Jack Kerouac’s semiautobiographical novel about his childhood in Lowell) is on the long list of reasons why. The multiday music festival returns every year to the stages\, cafes and galleries of “Mill City\,” platforming a mix of established artists and a slew of underground acts. This year John Doe (of X) and David Lowery (of Cracker) get top billing\, teaming up for a night of ”intimate” and “story-rich” music.
