The 2023 Festival will take place Live in Downtown Brattleboro.

This year's festival is the story of us: what it means to be human, the importance of family and friends and what it means to be marginalized and how we are surviving the issues we are faced with today. Because we are all in this together. All events Free and open to the public.
