The Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival is a free event but donations are much appreciated. Non-perishable food items for the Vermont Food Bank are particularly appreciated.

The festival is a rain or shine affair, with Plymouth’s historic 1840 Union Christian Church serving as the rain venue. The Plymouth Folk and Blues Festival also offers distractions for the kiddies in the form of hay rides, crafts, and face painting.

Arrive early and explore Plymouth Notch and the Calvin Coolidge Historic Site, birthplace and boyhood home of our 30th President, Calvin Coolidge. Calvin Coolidge’s family home and much of Plymouth Notch remain virtually unchanged since the early 20th century. Plymouth Notch is a National Historic Landmark and an excellent destination for a day-trip.
