Support a Community Tradition of Music, Joy, and Connection
The Ridgway Fête de la Musique is a beloved, free, community-wide celebration of summer music and togetherness—presented in collaboration by Weehawken Creative Arts and Ridgway Chautauqua / Sherbino Theater.
Held annually on the last Sunday of June from 4 p.m. until dark, the Fête transforms downtown Ridgway—spanning Clinton and Cora Streets and extending into Hartwell Park—into a vibrant, walkable festival filled with live music, creativity, and community spirit.
This event is free and open to all—and your support is what makes that possible.
