What to expect:


Cotuit Center for the Arts is a performing and visual arts compound conveniently located on Rte. 28 in Cotuit, MA, between Hyannis and Falmouth.

The Center is comprised of a main performance space and gallery, an art instruction studio, Green Room “house” and grounds.  The festival has been developed as a family friendly event with lots of activities for kids including a fully interactive hands-on “musical instrument petting zoo”, face painting, games and picnicking areas with plenty of room for playing.  In between musical acts on the main stage, a series of workshops will take place in the art studio ranging from demonstrations on making guitars from cigar boxes and suitcases, to fiddle and banjo workshops to songwriting workshops.  

The first half of the day will feature folk and bluegrass artists and we will have available for purchase Burgers, dogs, Captain Parker's famous clam chowder, sandwiches, snacks, water and sodas.  Later in the day the musical styles will gradually ramp up culminating in a rousing set by R & B Blues Rocker Barrence Whitfield.  Beer and Wine will be available for purchase after 3 pm. In order to maintain a relaxed festival atmosphere, parking will be available off-site with free shuttle service to and from the remote lot.
