Winstock Music Festival
Winstock, the first major music festival of the summer, happens in Winsted in early June each year.
Many national recording country music artists perform at Winstock each year, along with up-and-coming country music groups who are featured on a separate emerging artists’ stage.
Anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 people attend the festival each June. Campsites surround the festival area and accommodate the large number of music lovers.
Since the first year Winstock was started in 1994, the festival has continued to grow in both the number of fans and the quality of the artists.
Winstock is a fundraising event for Holy Trinity Catholic School in Winsted and is staffed by hundreds of volunteers from the school and the community.
In the last few years, the Winstock stage has seen the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, Lonestar, Phil Vassar, Trace Adkins, Terri Clark, John Michael Montgomery, Martina McBride, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, The Bellamy Brothers, and Miranda Lambert, just to name a few.
For its 15th year, Winstock will feature Reba McEntire, Montgomery Gentry, Sawyer Brown, Kellie Pickler, and many more.
Tickets and more information about the festival are available by calling 888-946-7865, or at Winstock’s web site at www.winstockfestival.com
