 The event was really well laid out and the view to see the performances was spectacular. The selection of musical artist was diverse and outstanding. The biggest surprise was Billy Gilman and Elizabeth Biasell on fiddle. Two RI greats!!

 Very poor management. They canceled the event and were supposed to return the money on Tuesday, but it's Saturday and they haven't returned the money. Before the event, they answered all the calls, and now that they have to return the money, they don't answer calls or emails. Please return the money for the canceled event

 Waited for entry noted as 10A until after 11A. Empty parking lot but we were asked to move our lawn chairs. Security was a joke. Vendors set up to the right of entry were unnoticed. Should have been in main area especially the military tents. The ticket pricing for subpar food and warm beverages was outrageous. The music start was delayed no fly over as noted transition of bands was slow.

 You can send an email for a review but not an email to notify ticket holders you canceled the event for Sunday and being transparent about the refund. This is concerning and I will wait to see how everything is resolved before deciding to go with my friends next year. Hope you get this sorted during this hectic time!

 A bit chaotic being a VIP in the beginning! Outside vendors should’ve been inside the fence area! Next to Kettkecorn!Food was less than appealing!! Cook your own burgers and dogs. Add chips instead of fries! Think fair food!!Food value wasn’t there for the quality! August/September would be better!

Review your experience with Ri Music Festivals

 We loved the atmosphere of an open-air festival and the focus on honoring veterans. The performers were very good although, for a "live" concert, there was an awfull lot of backing tracks being used. This was advertised to be a country music festival but it seemed to be more of a rock festival than a country festival. It seems disingenuous that after advertising it as a country festival, selling us tickets, you are now, after the fact, calling it a RI Music Festival.

 It was a fun and beautiful experience! The atmosphere was amazing, and it felt great to be part of Rhode Island’s first country music festival. Everything was well organized, and the crowd brought such good energy.

 There were 4 of us who showed at 1:30pm. We stayed and waited until Jimmie Allen came out. We were cold, but we stayed for him. BUT as soon as he came out and said he was late to come out because you told him you weren’t paying him, that you were taking food out of his kids mouth, we were done and left. That was so rude, unprofessional and unnecessary. No matter what the financial circumstances were- he didn’t need to say that. We were there for the veterans and he was not.

 I was excited when I purchased 6 early bird tickets for our group but then read that chairs were not allowed at the venue. I recently had hurt my back and wasn’t able to stand very long. I had to forfeit my 2 tickets but then found out that chairs were allowed. Very disappointed! Should have been posted earlier.

 It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but I understand that as a first time not everything is going to be perfect. I just don’t agree with us having to pay for parking. I’ve never attended a concert/ festival that I had to pay fruit much money for parking. $40 is outrageous. Also, $5 a ticket for food /drinks? One beer is $30 for 2 beers, I don’t pay that much when I go to Boston and I go a lot and we all know how expensive Boston is. Staff was nice

 I have been to MANY country festivals. This one was extremely disappointing. Event was poorly managed. Way way way too expensive for what it was. The amount of time between acts was way too long. Parking was $40??? That’s outrageous-and the parking lots were treacherous to walk and to drive through. Drinks $10-15 for a can of beer or seltzer…would definitely never do that again.
