Village Green

Village Green Park is festival central and just a block south of the downtown retail area. Village Green is where you check in with your e-ticket to exchange it for your All-Event wristband. The park has multiple food and local craft vendors, Volunteer Check-In, official festival merchandise and CDs by your favorite artists for sale. The Village Green tent has beer service provided by Deschutes Brewery and wine for sale as well. This venue, presented by the Starview Foundation in support of Deschutes Land Trust, seats approximately 950 people. 375 S. Fir St.

Sisters Art Works

Our largest venue, the “SAW” stage is presented by the Roundhouse Foundation and seats approximately 1,100 people. This venue also has official festival merchandise, wine and beer service provided by Deschutes Brewery, and food by The Porch. SAW has one of our three FREE bike valets compliments of Blazin’ Saddles. 204 W. Adams Ave.

Sisters Coffee Co.

The Sisters Coffee Co. stage hosts workshops on Saturday and is a free community venue. It is a relaxing, shady spot to enjoy a meal or coffee drink with an intimate presentation by festival artists on their craft and process. The grass seating holds up to 300 people. Bring your own blanket or low-back chair; a limited number of chairs will be available. 273 E. Hood Ave.

Melvin’s Fir Street Market

Melvin’s Market is an exciting venue and great for late-night fun. The market is fully stocked with healthy, organic food and a wide variety of beverages. This is the venue for night-time dancing, with beer service by Deschutes Brewery, wine and great food. Melvin’s also hosts one of our three FREE bike valets, compliments of Blazin’ Saddles. Melvin’s Market tent holds approximately 350 people and will be primarily a standing/dancing venue in the evenings. 160 S. Fir St.

Angeline’s Bakery & Café

The outdoor venue at Angeline’s is nestled between two Western-style buildings, sheltering an intimate “backyard” atmosphere. Angeline’s holds approximately 125 people and offers healthy food in a fun atmosphere. Space is limited, and this venue often is “at capacity” throughout the festival. 121 W. Main Ave.

Depot Café

The Depot offers a beautiful aesthetic, with a custom-built stage and exceptional performances from our festival artists. The ambiance is magical, and the food is considered fine dining in a casual environment. This venue holds approximately 175 people in an intimate, patio setting. 205 W. Cascade Ave.

The Open Door at Clearwater Gallery

The Clearwater Gallery is an artful space, hosting music throughout the weekend. Artisan food at The Open Door combined with fine art and a knock-your-socks-off outdoor patio-garden make for a popular eating, dining and listening experience. This venue holds approximately 150 people. 303 W. Hood Ave.

The Belfry

Converted from a 100-year-old Baptist church, the Belfry expands its musical offering to a full weekend this year. The Belfry is a rockin’ good time, with stained-glass windows, wooden floors and a comfortable balcony to kick back and enjoy a reverent, awe-inspiring space. The Belfry holds approximately 150 people. 302 W. Main Ave.

FivePine Lodge & Conference Center

FivePine is THE romantic getaway in Sisters with world-class accommodations and an enchanting setting. The stage is next to the Conference Center, on a grassy lawn surrounded by a gurgling stream and tall pines. This year the venue will host music for the entire weekend. It’s a short walk or bike ride from town. We have a FREE bike valet, compliments of Blazin’ Saddles or you can catch the shuttle out to FivePine. The venue holds approximately 175 people and has quickly become a favorite with our patrons. 1021 Desperado Trail

Fir Street Park

This is a brand-new park for Sisters, and a new venue for the festival. On Saturday, the Americana Project alumni will take the stage from mid-day into the evening. It is the only stage running during the dinner break on Saturday. This is a free venue for our community, and as it is just finished at press time, we don’t have a seating capacity.

Look for our one-of-a-kind, limited edition, cycling jersey at our festival merchandise tent at Village Green!

Bike Valet

There are three locations where you can leave your bike while you enjoy the music. Our Bike Valet is hosted by Blazin’ Saddles Cycle N Style and is a FREE service for our patrons. Bike Valets are located at Melvin’s Fir Street Market, Sisters Art Works and FivePine Lodge and Conference Center. Valet hours will be posted at each location. The Valet generally closes shortly after the last act ends at each venue.

Festival Shuttle

Sisters Parks and Recreation District, in partnership with the Outlaw Volleyball Club, will be running two FREE shuttle buses throughout the weekend. Volunteers from the Volleyball Club will be your drivers — tips are appreciated and help support the club expenses. Buses run continuously, and stops are identified on the map.
