The 17th Annual Essex Music Festival in Essex, Massachusetts features a collection of the area’s finest acoustic performers in a family oriented venue. An eclectic mix of genres perform on two stages and include Bluegrass, Folk, Blues, Celtic, Ragtime, Cajun/Zydeco and Americana Roots music.

Following last year's "Not so Sweet" 16th Annual Festival - cancelled due to Hurricane Danny - we are moving back to the birthplace of the festival at the new and improved Centennial Grove. The Grove is now famous as the set for Adam Sandler's movie, "Grown Ups", filmed at Centennial Grove last year and now in theaters nationwide!

Bring a blanket and chairs and enjoy the Grove's natural beauty and turn-of-the-century architecture on a bluff overlooking Chebacco Lake.
