Description:
Folkfaces Fest is a living growing grassroots style music festival thrown by Tyler Westcott & his band Folkfaces. The fest is rapidly approaching its 10th year! This year the festival date is set for October 1st-4th. The festival takes place at Cherry Hill Campground in Darien Center, NY (40 minutes from Buffalo, about an hour from Rochester). Located directly across the road from Six Flags Darien Lake Amusement Park.
About Cherry Hill Campground:
This well manicured campground has 50 campsites scattered throughout its 63 acres. Each with their own picnic table and fire ring. A few unfurnished barebones cabins. A bathhouse with 6 flush toilets and two showers, coin operated laundry and vending machines. There are numerous spigots with potable water spread throughout the festival grounds. A camp store with all your camping supply needs, snacks, drinks and more. Located directly across the road from Six Flags Darien Lake Amusement Park. Which creates a unique backdrop for incredible sunsets with a rollercoaster skyline!
Stages:
The festival has three areas for performances: The Greystone Stage (main stage), The Gage Stage (side woods stage), and the Slyboots Tent (a large circus tent for performance, workshops, activities and more).
Artists village & food vendors:
We host food vendors of all varieties. We try our best to have a range of healthy options as well as standard fair fare. We include many art and craft vendors. We are always seeking more vendors to add to our food court and artist village. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks as well.
