A taste of what's hitting the main stage this summer.
Saturday Headliner
Spooklights
Banjos and beats, slide guitar and synth. Ozark tradition collides with homemade electronic wizardry — jangle-stomp from another dimension.
Sunday Headliner
Sara Brown Band
Small-town redhead with powerhouse vocals. Dynamic five-piece blending blues, rock, soul, and funk.
The Experience
Music, River & Community
Nestled along the Kettle River at Stotts Festival Grounds next to the Colville National Forest, our festival brings together pickers, dancers, and music lovers from across the country for a weekend of authentic acoustic music.
Music runs from noon to 9 PM on Saturday and 10 AM to 4:30 PM on Sunday, plus the free Friday night street dance. Jam sessions, craft vendors, and a Sunday gospel jam round out the weekend.
Memories
From the Grounds
Real moments from past festivals — pickin', dancin', and river sunsets.
Don't Miss the Pickin' Party of the Year
Weekend passes get you all three days of music, workshops, and memories that last a lifetime. Camping available separately at Stotts RV Park.
