What happened to Belleayre Music Festival?
The not-for-profit Belleayre Music Festival suspended its event in 2015 after 23 summers, citing chronic financial deficits that began with the 2008 downturn and worsened after Hurricane Irene (2011). It returned in 2016 at a smaller indoor venue, Belleayre Mountain's Discovery Lodge. No confirmed listing for a current-year season could be found: the festival's official domain is inactive, and ticketing platforms show no scheduled dates.
