The experience
What's special
Northlands Music & Arts Festival is a boutique-sized, independently owned festival at the Cheshire Fairgrounds in Swanzey, New Hampshire, in the Monadnock region and about two hours from Boston, Albany and Hartford. The 2027 edition runs Friday, June 18 and Saturday, June 19. Two days of curated live music sit alongside art installations, local food and drink vendors and artisan crafts, and the Maple Barn Sessions put bands on stage in an on-site barn turned recording studio. The organizer calls it family-friendly and known for cozy camping.
How it works
Northlands runs two days, June 18 and 19, 2027, at the Cheshire Fairgrounds, with camping on site. Lodging options include Keene hotels about ten minutes away, several with a festival shuttle sold as a separate shuttle pass, and Brattleboro, Vermont, about thirty minutes away. The concert field has a kids tent, food vendors, and craft cocktails and micro brews. Drop-off and pick-up waits can reach 20 minutes. Golf cart assistance and a wheelchair accessible platform are available.
Who it suits
It suits families and campers who want a smaller, independent festival rather than a large-scale one. The organizer describes a family-friendly event with a dedicated kids tent for creative play, an accessible camping area, and a mix of art installations, crafts and local food alongside the music. Those who prefer a bed can stay in Keene and take the festival shuttle.

Getting there
Nearest airport MHT.
How do I get to Northlands Music & Arts Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Northlands Music & Arts Festival. The nearest major airport is MHT, 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
Greyhound lists stops at both Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) and Keene, NH per the airport's own bus-schedule page and third-party route listings.
Book / infoFestival shuttle
Locally-based transportation company offering scheduled park-and-ride and door-to-door shuttle service between the Keene area and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, seven days a week with advance booking. Not a festival-official shuttle (no Northlands partnership found), but the realistic practical option for fly-in attendees given the lack of a direct scheduled bus/rail link. Note: this is a general regional airport shuttle, not specific to the festival's venue.
Book / infoTaxi & rideshare
Flymanchester.com's ground-transportation page lists ride-sharing and taxi/shuttle/limo categories serving destinations across NH, but publishes no flat fare table.
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
On site parking available. Prepay via the festival's ticketing site. No dedicated rideshare-only zone documented; the Winchester St off-site lot plus free shuttle is the official budget arrival path, same corridor also used by the hotel shuttles (Courtyard Marriott, Hampton Inn & Suites, Best Western. Fri/Sat 11am-12am, Sun 11am-11pm, advance purchase required, per the FAQ) for attendees staying in Keene rather than camping.
