MIDDLEBURY — It’s back!

Following a year’s hiatus, the Middlebury Summer Festival on-the-Green brings fabulous music back to the heart of Middlebury, Aug. 2 through 6. Kenyan-born performance artist KeruBo’s dynamic ensemble will kick off the all-Vermont lineup on Monday, Aug. 2. Great music continues with The Paul Asbell Quintet; Treetop Mansion, the new project of Clint Bierman and Peter Day (of Grift fame); Beg, Steal or Borrow, Vermont’s hottest bluegrass band; and Low Lily, an American folk/harmony string trio. Performances are from 7-9 p.m. daily. Events are held rain or shine under a tent on the Middlebury Village Green.
