Memories That Last a Lifetime
Buttermilk Jamboree is a weekend that your family will be talking about for months and years to come. A time to gather, play, rest, dance and retreat. A time to let the worries of the week fade away as you take in the whispers of the pines, the joy of the crowd, the smells and tastes of the food and the freedom in community.
Great Music
A musical festival is only as good as its artists, and Buttermilk attracts a diverse and eclectic group. Past headliners have included: Las Cafeteras, Nikki Hill, May Erlewine, and Donna and the Buffalo.
Family Friendly
We are proud to be one of the most family-friendly music festivals in the area. A designated family camp area, a kid’s music stage, as well as a huge variety of activities will make this a weekend your family will talk about for months and years to come.
Beautiful Location
Located on the sprawling grounds of the 300+ acres of Circle Pines, jamboree attendees typically enjoy camping for the weekend or renting one of the onsite cabins. Take a dip in the lake, go mushroom hunting or join the Folk School workshops to learn something new.
Get Involved
It truly takes a village to make Buttermilk what it is. Get involved as a musical artist, a vendor or a volunteer or a workshop leader. Every person at Buttermilk has something to offer to the world, and the beauty of the Buttermilk Jamboree is found in what we can offer one another.
