16th Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival to be Held July 20-23 in Trumansburg, NY
The 16th Annual Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance will be held from July 20-23 at the Trumansburg Fairgrounds in Trumansburg, NY. This year's headliners include hit country singer John Anderson, politically conscious reggae hip-hoppers Michael Franti & Spearhead, African music legend Thomas Mapfumo & Blacks Unlimited, Rajasthani gypsy-Indian fusion band Musafir, Honduran Garifuna singer Aurelio Martinez, Irish supergroup Cherish the Ladies, Grammy-winning country singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale, polyethnic percussion and visual performance ensemble Cyro Baptista & Beat The Donkey, and many more.
The festival was founded by roots rock band Donna the Buffalo, who will perform three times over the four days of the festival. Now in its sixteenth year, the festival brings some of the best contemporary and traditional roots music from around the world together in the tiny town of Trumansburg, New York. Festival organizers estimate that around 12,000 people will attend GrassRoots.
All festival proceeds are donated to organizations that support local arts, education and the global fight against AIDS.
The GrassRoots Festival, in addition to presenting over 60 bands on four stages, also offers a visual art exhibit, a juried craft fair, over 20 food vendors providing a wide variety of cuisines, a chamber orchestra concert, all night zydeco and Cajun dances on Friday and Saturday nights, kids' areas for both young and teenaged children, a children's parade, and much more.
