media release: 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 26th year of Larryfest, a Bluegrass music festival held annually in a valley in rural La Farge, Wisconsin. 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. Visit the Larryfest website for tickets and more information.
This year’s lineup includes: Nick Chandler & Delivered, Art Stevenson & High Water, The Roe Family Singers, The Kody Norris Show, Junior Sisk, Don Rigsby, Crooked Willow, The Baker Family, David Peterson & 1946, Chicken Wire Empire and many more...

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