NB Roots and Branches Festival
OUR SET TIME: 2pm @
The Symphony Music Shop Stage
at Lori Gomes Salon
NB Roots and Branches is a two-day acoustic music and art festival “by and for the people” taking place annually on the 3rd week of July. The festival is 100% free to all and devoted to ensuring the various diverse communities of Greater New Bedford are represented on both the performance schedule and in the audience. It aims to have a positive impact on downtown New Bedford’s social, cultural, and business communities. The festival is organized under the co-direction of Jeff Angeley and Christian Camarao and the 2025 edition exists under the fiscal agency of Gallery X, a 501c3 at the heart of downtown New Bedford with whom we share common vision. As with our previous two iterations, we are an official City of New Bedford sponsored event through our relationship with Explore New Bedford, the city’s Department of Tourism.
