The Knights Ferry Art & Music Festival is back, June 5-7! This year’s festival will be a mini version of years past - “more intimate, more hometown vibes and cheaper tickets.” From the KFAM Instagram: “KFAM 2026 is bringing three days of live music, art, workshops, community events, vendors, late-night sets, riverside hangs and historic small town magic. From intimate songwriter rounds and local favorites to national touring acts and community gatherings, this year’s lineup is stacked with talent across multiple stages and venues all weekend long. Come wander the town, catch a set, paint something, meet good people, and experience the creative energy that makes Knights Ferry so special.”
This year’s stages will be set at Rick’s Saloon, The River’s Edge, the 50’s Roadhouse, and the Knights Ferry Art Studio. Art, vendors, and family-friendly activities will be spread throughout town, including around Miller’s Hall, the community garden, and along Main Street at local spots like The Knights Ferry Creamery, Cool Company, and Knights Ferry Vintage. The Knights Ferry Museum will also be open Saturday beginning at 11:30 a.m.
The event will feature a wide range of live music, with performances by Awanichi, The Western Kingbirds, Willy Tea, Rita Taylor, Tom V, Randy Mandy & the Bait & Tackle Choir, Mike Clark, The Turkey Buzzards, Sandy Rogers, and more.
