Music. Art. Food. FUN!

The 2026 festival theme is “America’s 250th”

In honor of the United States Semiquincentennial anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, our buttons will be red, white, and blue.

“The essence of the Willow Tree Festival is the good gladness of community and creativity. It is an enchanted, unhurried interlude, a time of lightness and all-rightness, of fun and frolicking, freshness and folksiness, of spontaneity and simplicity–and of sophistication, too. It’s a lilting celebration that sparkles with the perception that Gordon, and the region to which it belongs, are America’s best and brightest secret.”
