The Big Ponderoo music festival returns to Sisters on June 29-30, 2024 with bluegrass, alt-country, and Americana music on two stages at Village Green Park, right in the heart of town. SFF Presents, who stages this festival as well as the Sisters Folk Festival later in the year, is out to create an experience that is more intimate than the huge corporate festivals of summer. “At Big Ponderoo, we’re on a mission to bring our audience a festival reminiscent of the days before the corporate music monopoly took over – where small-town charm meets world-class live music for an unforgettable, warm, and personal festival experience.” The Saturday lineup includes artists Shinyribs, The Brothers Comatose, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Hogslop String Band, Shadowgrass, The Sam Chase and the Untraditional, Skillethead, Skybound Blue, The Parnells, Fog Holler, Rock Ridge, and Joanna Lee, with music from noon to 11 p.m.
On Sunday, festival artists Silverada (formerly Mike and the Moonpies), Oliver Wood Trio, Bella White, The East Pointers, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Shadowgrass, The Parnells, Fog Holler, Rock Ridge, Joanna Lee, and the SMS Outlaw Strings Club will take to the Ponderoo and Pinecone stages with music from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
