Rush River Folk Festival

Experience one of western Wisconsin's favorite Labor Day weekend traditions at the 13th Annual Rush River Folk Festival on Saturday, September 5, from 1:00–9:00 p.m. at Vino in the Valley in Maiden Rock.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rush River Valley, this free, family-friendly festival showcases an afternoon and evening of live folk music performed by talented regional artists. Bring your lawn chairs or blankets, relax under the open sky, and enjoy an unforgettable day of music, food, and scenic beauty.

Vino's pavilion and kitchen open at 12:00 p.m., serving signature Italian cuisine, brick oven pizza, wine, craft beer, and other refreshments. Between performances, explore the grounds, take a complimentary tractor and wagon ride along the Rush River, enjoy lawn games, or simply unwind while taking in the spectacular valley views. As the sun sets behind the bluffs, gather around one of our cozy bonfires to cap off a perfect day.
