Blissfest is a must for your Summer Bucket List

🎶 Discover the Soundtrack to Your Summer at Blissfest 2025

Summer in Northern Michigan is unmatched. When you combine it with three days of music, art, food, and camaraderie across 200 acres of woods and fields, just minutes away from the coveted Sturgeon Bay Beach, you’ve found Blissfest. Our 43rd Annual Folk + Roots Festival brings together a genre-bending lineup designed for music lovers.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

FRIDAY

• Elephant Revival – Ethereal, harmony-rich folk that blends Appalachian soul with mystic wanderlust.

• Toubab Krewe - World music with serious groove. A high-octane fusion of West African rhythms and jam-band energy.

• Bobby Alu – Australian-born, island-vibe singer-songwriter with smooth Polynesian beats and a laid-back charm.

SATURDAY

• Trevor Hall – Soulful acoustic roots and reggae, meets spiritual lyricism—music for the heart and the healing journey.

• Ozomatli – If the city of Los Angeles had a soundtrack, it would be Ozomatli. The six-piece, multi-genre band has been a cultural force, blending Latin, hip-hop, funk, reggae, and global influences.

• Henhouse Prowlers – Chicago’s “Bluegrass Ambassadors” delivering tight-pickin’ originals and global collaborations.

SUNDAY

• Lindsay Lou – A genre-crossing powerhouse—deeply personal songs wrapped in velvet vocals and Americana grace.

• Harry Manx – The mystic bluesman—Indian slide guitar meets delta roots in a sound that’s meditative and magnetic.

• Steve Poltz – Wildly charismatic and unexpectedly profound—part troubadour, part comedic genius, all heart.

💥 Plus over 100 performers across 10 curated stages—including rising Midwest stars and community favorites
