Just to the north of Granville is Waitsfield, home to the Mad River Valley Players, another renowned community theatre troupe, celebrating its 30th year in 2010, and annual host to Mad River Unplugged, a folk and blues music series.

Rochester also holds a summer-long Music in the Park concert series, and you’ll find regular jazz and folk music events at Seasoned Books and Bakery.
You’ll discover many more music venues and events in Warren, Waitsfield, and at the Sugarbush and Killington, Four Season Resorts. Music plays a leading part in the Mad River Valley Craft Fair.
