THE fESTIVAL
August 26, 2017
The music begins in the amphitheater with local troubadours playing in time with the bubbling stream that pours down the ravine’s steep slope. Grab a boulder or a patch of grass as the eclectic singer-songwriters and bands rouse the crowd. Break for a Southern style barbeque spread and keep heading up the hill to the stately red barn.
When the sun starts to lower in the sky, join the well-fed crowd as they gather in the barn as the tempo of the music quickens. Here, the second set begins and rollicking bands usher Livestock attendees through several more hours of toe-tapping, heel-stomping entertainment.
