The second annual Big Ponderoo Music and Art Festival will be held June 29-30, with lively bluegrass and Americana music on the stage at the Three Creeks production facility. The event, under the umbrella of SFF Presents, celebrates the thriving music and arts community in Sisters.

A limited number of discounted holiday tickets are now available for $175/adult (limit four per person) and $80/youth 17 and under at https://aftontickets.com/BigPonderoo, while supplies last or through January 3, 2024, whichever comes first.

The initial festival lineup includes The Brothers Comatose, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Hogslop String Band, Bella White, and Sam Chase and the Untraditional, with several additional lineup announcements to come.

Attendees of last year’s festival will notice a change in the number of venues this year. To eliminate travel between sets, the festival will take place on a single stage at the Three Creeks production facility on Barclay Drive. The venue is set up “festival style,” with no tents or seating provided; ticket holders will be encouraged to bring tarps, blankets, and low festival chairs.

Early bird and advance-priced weekend passes will be available at an increased cost once the holiday tickets have sold out. Single-day tickets will be available for purchase sometime in April 2024, once the performance schedule is announced. Additional information can be found at http://www.bigponderoo.com.
