Larryfest

Larryfest features area musicians, national Bluegrass bands, RV and rustic camping— all in one Wisconsin valley

Get ready for the sound of Bluegrass music echoing through Driftless Wisconsin valleys.
It’s the 27th year of Larryfest, a Bluegrass music festival held annually in a valley in rural La Farge, Wisconsin. This year’s event will be Aug. 15-17, at S2096 24 Valley Rd. La Farge, WI 54639.

The fest features two outdoor stages of live music performances from local and national talent. Festgoers bring lawn chairs to watch performances and comfortable shoes if they like to dance. The valley creates a natural outdoor, music amphitheater for the fest that can be heard for miles. Rustic camping and RVs are set up throughout the valley for the three days of music.

Larryfest is organized by the Kickapoo Valley Music Association (KVAMA)

The Kickapoo Valley Acoustic Music Association (KVAMA) is a nonprofit organization that has brought professional Bluegrass musicians to Larryfest since it started. The group was created by the Sebranek family to preserve and promote Bluegrass, folk, and old-time music.

KVAMA is dedicated to giving back to the community by holding a food drive at the gates of Larryfest. Also, every year the organization donates a portion of the Larryfest proceeds to LaFarge Fire Department, LaFarge Ambulance Squad, LaFarge Lions Club and the Vernon Sheriff’s Department.
