Trumansburg

Grassroots Festival
Fairgrounds
Late July
east end of the village on Main St

Every summer 10,000 people descend on the village for a weekend of non-stop music by bands from the well known to the obscure for the annual Grassroots festival. The scene is mellow, families with young children mingling with tie-dyed 20-somethings. Many people camp in tents or RVs. Also lots of food, the local police chief says good things about the barbeque stand.
