Roots & Rhythm Festival every fall
What began as a celebration has become a tradition.
Coming September 19, 2026
Roots & Rhythm Festival is an annual celebration of music, art, community, and empowered expression hosted by Cypress Adventures. What began as a 10-year celebration of youth impact is growing into a vibrant gathering that brings people together through live music, visual art, outdoor culture, and creative connection.
