campfire. festival

At the campfire. festival, the line between performer and audience member blurs over the course of the campfire. festival. Performers sit in the room to watch other performers, and occasionally audience members get pulled on stage. The magic of campfire. festival weekends comes from the event’s delicate mixture of talented performers coming together and inspiring one other and an excited, attentive audience.

Purchase Passes

Thank you to the audience and artists of the 2018 Memorial Day campfire. festival!  Scroll down to see the full festival line-up from the weekend.  Planning will begin for the Labor Day campfire. in late June.

Please note there may be times that the room reaches capacity.  If that happens, no one else will be allowed in, even if you’ve already purchased a pass.  The room does not stay full for long, and generally seats will open up at the end of a set.  Schedule subject to change.

All sets of the campfire. festival take place in our venue at 47 Palmer Street, Cambridge, MA.

2018 Memorial Day Weekend campfire.

It started as a way to fill a bad booking weekend in 1998, but over the course of 20 years, the campfire. festival has become the single-biggest way that Passim develops new talent and celebrates the Boston area’s amazing music scene. Originally called, “On the Cutting Edge of the Campfire,” the festival combined the idea of artists sitting around the campfire playing music with our commitment to bringing new talent to discerning listeners. Today, the campfire. festival is as much about the community as it is about the music. “In the round” performances with songwriters swapping tunes are as common as solo and band sets throughout the course of each day of the festival.
