From June 20-22, 2025, Franklin County Fairgrounds in Greenfield, MA, welcomed the Green River Festival. It was a celebration of music and community. 15,000 attendees this year. People arriving all over New England were present for the three days event. The festival features music, food vendors, craft beer, hot air balloons, and other activities.

Named one of "fifty essential summer music festivals" by the New York Times, the Green River Festival in Western Massachusetts was once again a spectacular celebration of music and community: a world class lineup of over 40 acts on four stages.

More than music, the public enjoyed the best in local food, beer and wine, handmade crafts at The Makers Market, a wide array of kids activities and camping. NPR recently wrote, "The Green River Festival lineup gets more legendary by the year."

The 2025 event welcomed a list of well-known groups with some very talented artists. This year's headliners on the Main Stage have been Mt. Joy on Friday, Courtney Barnett on Saturday and Waxahatchee on Sunday.
