🌲 Wormtown Music Festival 2025:
Summer’s Sweet Finale in the Pines
When summer starts to whisper its goodbye, Wormtown Music Festival steps up to deliver that perfect final chorus: three days of music, camping, and community wrapped in the forested heart of Massachusetts. This year, from September 12-14, 2025, Camp KeeWanee in Greenfield, MA transforms into a jam-packed sanctuary for folk, funk, rock, reggae, and altogether good vibes.
📍Dates & Gates:
Early entry ($40 per person extra) starts Thursday (9/11) at 3pm. Regular admission opens at 9am Friday, Saturday and Sunday (9/12 – 9/14).
🌲Vibe & Venue: Home in the Woods
This isn’t your average festival with neon wristbands and mass chaos. Wormtown has a quietly incendiary charm. Three days immersed in 80-acre pine groves, where the stage sound blends with birdsong and the sunset slips through tall trees. Camping isn’t an afterthought, it’s your home base, your meet-up point, your confessional corner. Think front-porch sing-alongs, campfire jam circles, and walking barefoot between sets, all with mother nature as your festival stage.
Camp KeeWanee’s rustic charm, fired by camp counselors and first-timers alike, feels more like returning to a beloved cousin’s lake cabin than entering a concert zone.

💡Insider Tips: Wormtown Wisdom
- Early Worm Gets the Spot: Arrive Thursday evening (if possible) to claim primo camping near the site kitchen or water points.
- Bring Layers: Septembers in the Berkshires swing hot days and chilly nights, sweatshirts are your friend.
- Campfire Jams > Soundcheck Songs: Don’t miss midnight circles, campfire jams often outshine main-stage surprise moments.
- Hydrate Smartly: Water spigots dot the grounds, but pack a large refillable bottle and swiper for quick sips between sets.
- Audio Awareness: The love is real, but even acoustic setups can surprise you. Pack earplugs for softer lullabies to dreamtown.
