The experience
What's special
Billed as Pennsylvania's largest blues festival, this family-owned event has run every July since the late 1990s on a scenic working farm in Nescopeck. Three days of world-class blues across two stages, with on-site camping, southern-style barbecue, food and craft vendors, and a relaxed family atmosphere; kids 12 and under get in free.
How it works
Briggs Farm runs Thursday to Saturday, July 8 to 10, 2027, on two stages: the Main Stage for the evening headliners and the Back Porch for the early and midday sets. Tickets come as single days, two days or all three, each with or without camping, and the festival's own website is the only authorized seller. In 2026 non-campers could come in from 4 pm Thursday, when music started at 5, then from 10 am on Friday and 9 am on Saturday, with music running until 11 pm each night; check the 2027 schedule once it is posted. Everything is rain or shine.
Who it suits
It suits blues fans who like their festival on a farm, families, and campers happy to sleep in a field or the woods for three days. Camping here is dry, with no RV hookups, so it is less suited to anyone who wants a powered pitch or a hotel bed next to the stages.
Last time around (2026)
The 29th annual edition took place July 9-11, 2026 across two stages on the farm in Nescopeck, continuing its 'Best Weekend of the Year' run with camping, food and craft vendors.

Getting there
How do I get to Briggs Farm Blues Festival?
Briggs Farm sits on a working farm in rural Luzerne County and is a drive-in festival with no shuttle or transit service listed, so nearly everyone arrives by car. Where you leave it depends on your ticket. Campers drive straight onto the grounds, but a car that enters cannot leave until the festival ends, so day visitors and anyone who plans to come and go use the parking lot, where staff direct you to the nearest open spot. Gate times differ for campers and non-campers, with campers allowed in first, so check the schedule for your day. Check out each of the options below.
Nearest airport AVP.
By car
The nearest major airport is AVP, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
No scheduled intercity bus or public transit route to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
Taxi & rideshare
AVP is roughly 30 road miles northeast of Briggs Farm via I-81 S and I-80 W. Taxis wait outside the terminal's baggage claim, and the airport lists ride-share services among its ground-transport partners. Uber/Lyft both operate in the Nescopeck/Berwick area. No public transit, rail, or intercity coach reaches Nescopeck and the festival runs no airport shuttle, so this is the only non-driving door-to-door option.
Book / infoTaxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
Cost Free. "Parking is FREE here at the Briggs Farm Blues Festival! Upon arrival you will be directed to the closest available spot, with designated Handicapped and Motorcycle parking spots." Parking lot opens 9am Thursday/Friday. Key caveat for campers: "Cars that enter festival grounds cannot exit until the festival has ended", day-trippers and anyone needing to come-and-go should use the (free) parking lot, not drive onto the campgrounds.

Camping & Accommodation
Where do most people stay?
Camping is how most people do Briggs Farm, and open camping on the farm's fields and woods never sells out, so there is no need to book. A camping ticket lets you roll in with a tent, car, van or RV on Thursday or Friday and pick your own spot, with showers, potable water and portable toilets on site. Groups that want a guaranteed patch can reserve a larger plot, though the festival calls that a luxury rather than a necessity. Anyone who prefers a bed drives in from the hotels around Hazleton, a short drive away, where two partner hotels offer festival rates by phone. Check out each of the options below.
