Fences are up, stages construction is almost complete, and sound systems are being tested at Ninigret State Park in Charlestown where the Rhythm and Roots Festival is scheduled to begin Friday at 4PM.
2021 marks the return of the annual Labor Day Weekend event, canceled last year due to the pandemic. A full lineup of music is on tap including headliners John Hiatt, Rhiannon Giddens and Richard Thompson.
Check out the daily schedule blocks below.
In addition to the music, a Festival highlight is always the food trucks and vendors, many of whom return annually. Individual day tickets are still available here, and parking is free.
Check the Festival’s health and safety policy below:
