Big Sky Fest 2026 Presented by Folds of Honor NY

Welcome back to Big Sky Fest!
Big Sky Fest is back, and we’re bringing you our biggest, boldest, most feel-good weekend of the year. This year's festivities are brought to you by our incredible lead sponsor, Folds of Honor New York!
This event is everything we love wrapped into one unforgettable celebration — live music, cold drinks, incredible food, local makers, and the kind of atmosphere that feels a little bit Upstate New York and a little bit Nashville. If you love country music, great local businesses, and a day that feels like the perfect fall party, Big Sky Fest is for you.
This year, we’re thrilled to share the stage with The Steven Cali Band and The North and South Dakotas — two incredible acts that are going to make this year’s festival one to remember.
The weekend kicks off Friday night with our VIP Acoustic Night, an intimate and exclusive experience for VIP ticket holders only. Big Sky Country will perform new and unreleased original songs, along with some favorite covers you’ve never heard us play before. It’s a rare chance to see a different side of BSC in a laid-back, up-close setting. VIP guests will also enjoy early access to some of our favorite vendors, plus special VIP-only giveaways. It’s going to be a special night for a lucky few, and the VIP Package is required to attend.
Then on Saturday, it’s time for the main event.
Doors open at 3:00 PM, music starts at 4:00 PM, and the party rolls all the way through 9:30 PM. Bring the family and spend a beautiful fall day at the farm enjoying live music, local shopping, amazing food, cold drinks, and all the good vibes Big Sky Fest has become known for.
And this year, we’re turning it up a notch — for the first time ever, we’re going full band all day long.
Steven Cali brings what may be the best male country voice in the Northeast, and The North and South Dakotas are as good as it gets when it comes to bluegrass in New York State. From country anthems to high-energy pickin’, this lineup is stacked from start to finish.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Big Sky Fest without the food and drinks. Once again, Indian Ladder Farms Brewery & Cidery will be brewing up Big Sky Lager just for the event, alongside their full lineup of delicious beers and ciders. DiFazio’s Pizza will be on site slinging wood-fired pizza all day long, and crowd favorite Flaco’s Tacos will be serving up the tacos you know and love.
Great music, cold beer, wood-fired pizza, tacos, local vendors, and a fall day at Indian Ladder Farms — now that sounds like a festival.
