Big Ponderoo Music & Art Festival

Kick-off the summer at the 3rd annual Big Ponderoo Music + Art Festival -- an unforgettable, intimate festival experience where small-town charm meets world-class live music from bluegrass and Americana artists on June 28 & 29, 2025. See Shovels & Rope, Sierra Hull, John Craigie, Lindsay Lou, Tophouse, and MORE up close and personal! Weekend Passes and single-day tickets are on sale now. Limited camping reservations still available.

On Friday June 27, the Ponderoo Arts Experience invites visitors to enjoy the Big Ponderoo Friday Art Walk in downtown Sisters, with live music at several galleries. Get your passport stamped at participating galleries to redeem it for a free Little Ponderoo!

After the art walk, all are welcome to attend a free community event on Friday, June 27 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm at Village Green. Attendees can enjoy live music from two festival bands, plus food vendors, beer, wine and cider for purchase, art displays and interactive arts events.

The celebration will culminate with two days of live music June 28 & 29 on two stages.

Ticket price includes a complimentary commemorative 16 oz. pint cup for adult ticket holders, or bring a reusable pint cup from a past SFF Presents event and get a $5 off coupon toward beverage token purchase when you check in for your wristband! No disposable cups will be available at the festival bar in an effort to reduce waste generated at our events.

This is a rain or shine event, so dress for the weather, including chilly high desert evenings!
