Virtual Blue Ox Music Festival: Live From the Pines

by May 26, 2020

Blue Ox Music Festival Is Going Virtual: June 12 – 13, 2020

Blue Ox Music Festival has always had a special place in our hearts.  It was part of our 6-week festival run when we first kicked-off Festy GoNuts in 2016.   We interviewed our first band – Leftover Salmon – at Blue Ox.   And even though we haven’t been able to attend personally the past few years, we prioritized sending our good friends – Cami and Jason – to report back on their weekend at the Whispering Pines Campgrounds in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. 

Check out their great review of the 2019 Blue Ox Music Festival!

5 Years of Blue Ox Bliss: Blue Ox Music Festival 2019 Review

As with every other music festival this year, COVID-19 has forced Blue Ox to reschedule.  Of course, we are being hopeful that we can all get together to dance in the pines this August.  In the meantime, the amazing people who curate this family-friendly festival have decided to throw a Virtual Festival for us on their regularly scheduled dates. 

Blue Ox Music Festival: Live From the Pines will be held virtually on June 12 – 13, 2020 from 1:00 PM to 10:30 PM CDT.
