Amazing Rockfire Festival in Websterville (Bow Thayer, Krishna Guthrie, Fireworks)!
Amazing Rockfire in Websterville
In 2 weeks, Saturday September 14, perhaps the final Rockfire after 12 years will take place. If you don't know what Rockfire is you should check it out. It starts out in daylight at a beautiful meadow up above Barre surrounded by historic granite quarries with music and firey performances and food trucks or your own picnics. Pierre Couture is the founder of this Festival and it has gotten more fantastic over the years. Pierre started it to raise money for the Barre Town Forest and to help preserve the woods that have grown up around 50 retired granite quarries that have filled up with water and are a sight to behold that are above the Rock of Ages quarries that are still being worked. It is a pretty fabulous evening! So many things happening in the beautiful meadow white it is still light, and at dusk, don't miss the Iron Pour, then a 2 mile hike along pathways lit by hundreds of candles out to the Great LookOut. Beautiful walk or bike ride by daylight and magical at night with performances and bonfires along the way. The website is RockFireVT.com It is on Instagram and Facebook The poster says it is the final Rockfire. I hope not!
