RE: It's Happy Whiskey Wednesday folks, and for this one I'm grabbing the baton begun by @donkeypong--so click to win!
Going with rusted root because it sounded country-esque and I like to assume the best of people (:
Actually, I don't like country music, with a few song exceptions, but I wouldn't put rusted root in that category--I'd call it bluegrass, and the festivals for bluegrass are freaking awesome.
The Grassroots festival near Ithaca NY is like a yearly mini Woodstock. The best part is that it takes place on privately owned land, so no cops are allowed inside the gates. Meaning you can walk around with a joint in one hand and a bag of shrooms in the other if you were so inclined. It's one of the few places left in NY that fascism can't gain a foothold.
There are four stages, two drum tents, a zydeco dance tent and about fifty awesome food vendors. Not to mention beer tents, and people selling all manner of interesting stuff.
At its peak point on the weekends there are over ten thousand people wandering around, and in all of the twenty five years they've been hosting it the vibe is so upbeat, positive and chill that there's been maybe five serious brawls that have broken out in all of that time.
All of that to say...great try!
I see that you're into music, so go say hi to @luzcypher, he hosts weekly open-mic contests and is a good way to meet other musicians :)
