It was a gorgeous night!!! And the music at the Sugar House was out of this world!!!!
"I attended Jenny Brook for the second time this year, last year being my first time ever. Traveling up with my two daughters (aged 11 & 12) from Southern Rhode Island at 3:00 pm, immediately following our last day of school. The festival is wonderful in every way imaginable.... a big festival experience with a small festival feel. The lineup, workshops, Sugar Shack, field picking, kids academy and overall professionalism of the staff make Jenny Brook a top-notch festival.
This year particularly I had an experience worthy of sharing....my girls play competitive softball. We had taken some time to practice in the field just over the bridge and received a lot of positive feedback from other festival-goers about how refreshing it was to see a dad and daughter out playing catch.

"The Jenny Brook Festival held each year in the Green Mountains of Vermont was a very enjoyable event for us. Candi Sawyer and her staff do an excellent job of providing a beautiful setting for folks to come and see some of the best in the business of Bluegrass music entertainment."
"The Jenny Brook Bluegrass Music Festival is an event like no other that is about far more than just music. From the majestic Green Mountains encircling the fairgrounds to the rich Vermont heritage, wonderful people and activities for kids 2 to 102, Jenny Brook is truly a wholesome experience for the entire family. We have been attending this festival for 15 years through 4 generations. It's more than a road trip, it's become our family tradition that we look forward to year after year. Oh, and yes, the music is fantastic! Come experience the fun for yourself and begin your own yearly tradition of memory making with music in the mountains."
"Festivals are still the backbone of the bluegrass industry and we appreciate folks like the Sawyers who continue to give us the opportunity to share music with those who love it so much. I was thrilled to have the chance to play Jenny Brook in 2016 and sure hope to go back real soon. It's a real family affair, which means a lot to our family."
"The Jenny Brook Bluegrass festival was the first I had ever attended and I haven’t missed one since! I have watched as the attendance has grown and as it changed venues in 2009 to accommodate the larger crowds. The 2016 Jenny Brook Festival was the best of the best! Candi Sawyer works 365 days a year preparing for this event held each June and the result is a fantastic festival with people coming in from all over the country to partake in the festival activities. Her staff understands the importance of making each and every individual feel welcome and everyone leaves feeling they have just experienced the ultimate festival with the very best music, in a beautiful setting, surrounded by individuals who have worked endlessly to provide them with an optimal experience."
"There is a warmth that permeates Jenny Brook that I attribute to the personalities of its promoters, Candi and Seth Sawyer. Everyone wants the festival to do well in large part because we want the Sawyers to do well. They are good people who genuinely care about bluegrass and its presentation in a professional, family-friendly way. The line-up is strong without fail, year after year. In the dead of winter, I daydream of summer days and nights like I have experienced at Jenny Brook so many times, and, when that time rolls around again, I am never disappointed."
