Crozet Music Fest – Now in the Spring!

In Crozet by Jim1 Comment

We can say with 95% certainty that the first Spring CMF will be held May 13, 14, and 15, 2011 at 4 sites in and around Crozet. The papers aren’t signed, but it looks like we’re good to go to return to Crozet Park with a Country/Bluegrass/Gospel mix…. Other locations can’t yet be confirmed, but there will be 3 more: a Festival Mix site (similar to what we’ve always done), a Christian Music site, and a fourth site variously called Guitarist Paradise, Banjo Paradise, and Drummer’s Paradise. Working on the locations for Sites 2, 3, and 4, will keep you all posted on the progress.

Crozet Music Festival gets Love

From Magazine 33 Crozet – One thing is certain, and that is without the Crozet Music Festival, there would be many musically-starved, disappointed people in the surrounding Charlottesville area.  As Biff Rossberg states, the supreme mission for the Crozet Music Festival is “to produce a semiannual event to raise revenue to support Crozet Park, the Western Albemarle Rescue Squad, and other area nonprofits.”  The Crozet Music Festival has truly been a been a magnetic source for families and friends to gravitate to as a musical community in the Misty Mountain Campground.

We shouldn’t forget how lucky we are to have this in Crozet.

Crozet Music Fest Hope you all had a good time a few weeks back, and hope you had a chance to enjoy Crozet Arts and Crafts and The Festy Experience on Columbus Day weekend, what incredible events. As the festival season winds to a close, we are putting on our thinking caps and making big plans for next year. We can already say for sure that we are going to start doing our thing twice a year, the first Spring CMF will be the weekend of April 29, 30, and May 1. Lots of plans in the works to get the multi-site model under way, there is SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC around here, we need more venues to put it on display.

The Crozet Music Festival is this weekend . Spend ten minutes with learning more about the CMF with Bill Rossberg, founder and operator and John Updike, who has been heavily involved since day one.

They discuss the event, the bands, the vineyards and breweries, the activities for kids, the history and the vision of the Festival. I, for one, am grateful for such a tremendous event celebrating local and regional music.
