“Last year’s event (see video below) left the community buzzing for weeks,” says Alicia Baker, The Quechee Club’s marketing coordinator. Last summer’s festival drew approximately 1,000 attendees from the Upper Valley and beyond, ranging in age from three months to grandparents and even great-grands. “A very good turnout for a first-year event,” reports Alicia.

This summer’s event will take place, rain or shine, the evening of Friday, August 7 at the Quechee Ski Area. The festival will spotlight a variety of musical genres which includes a smooth jazz undertone, the energy of pop, and the soul of R&B.

Walt Cunningham Jr., creator/director of Dartmouth Idol, produces and directs the event and is solely responsible for the talent. Through his connections all over the country, he has brought well-known talent from New York, Chicago, and Boston to perform at the Ottauquechee Summer Music Festival.
