We’re excited to announce that we have officially received our campground permit and are now welcoming campers back to Sugar Mountain Performing Arts Center in Caneadea, NY.

✅ Primitive Tent Camping
✅ Primitive RV/Camper Sites
✅ Fire pits
✅ Open skies & beautiful sunsets
✅ Relaxed natural setting

While we don’t currently have live music events scheduled for the campgrounds, we’re actively working on bringing music and additional events back to the mountain in the near future. Plus, we will be hosting events with the Dirt Turtles and High Pines this summer. More details coming soon!

As we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country this Memorial Day, all of us at Sugar Mountain wish everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day.

We also want to thank everyone for your patience and understanding regarding the cancellation of Estival Festival 2026.

We are currently working through ticket refunds and expect all refunds to be processed by the end of the week. Please keep in mind that the time it takes for funds to appear in your account may vary depending on your financial institution’s processing times and policies.

Thank you again for all of your support. ❤️

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of Estival Festival 2026.

This was an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Estival Festival has always been funded entirely in-house, without corporate sponsorship, and unfortunately the financial risk has become too great with current ticket sales this year. In addition, I am facing an upcoming surgery that will require a significant recovery period, making it necessary for me to prioritize my health and my family at this time.

We want to sincerely thank everyone who purchased tickets, reserved vendor spots, applied as artisans, volunteered, performed, or supported Estival Festival in any way. Your belief in what we are building at Sugar Mountain has meant more to us than words can express.

All ticket, vendor, and camping refunds will be issued in full as soon as possible. Please note that processing times may vary depending on your financial institution.

While we are deeply disappointed that we will not be gathering together this June, we plan to use this time to continue improving the property and expanding amenities for future events and gatherings. Sugar Mountain will continue operating as a campground and event space, and we look forward to welcoming guests throughout the season.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and kindness during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Lane
Estival Festival / Sugar Mountain Performing Arts Center

🎻 FEATURED ARTIST: Sutton String Band 🎻

If you love authentic bluegrass and old-time Appalachian sound… this one’s for you.

Sutton String Band is a group of friends from the Finger Lakes region of New York and central Ohio who come together around a few microphones to keep tradition alive. Their sound is rooted in classic Appalachian style, but carries a uniquely Finger Lakes flavor that feels right at home on the mountain.

There’s something special about a band that strips it down to the essentials—tight harmonies, real instruments, and pure connection. That’s exactly what Sutton String Band brings to the stage.
