The beloved and intimate music venue City Winery has announced a brand new festival to take place at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY. The two-day festival, called City Winery Open, is the result of a partnership between City Winery and venue promoters Madison House Presents.
Taking place on Saturday, September 17th and Sunday, September 18th, the event will feature an eclectic lineup of talent. Saturday features headliner Sheryl Crow alongside The Wallflowers, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Deer Tick, and Wild Feathers, while Sunday will feature headliner Aretha Franklin alongside Gillian Welch, Dawes, Josh Ritter, and Houndmouth.
The event will also feature 40 chefs from the New York Area, such as Marcus Samuelsson from Red Rooster, Daniel Boloud of Daniel and Bar Boloud, Drew Nieporant of Tribeca Grill and Nobu, and many more. Of course, it wouldn’t be a City Winery event without wine, so the promoters will be featuring over 75 top wineries from around the world at the festival
City Winery CEO Michael Dorf had this to say about the fun and unique upcoming event:
“Over the past eight years at City Winery, we have been blessed to cultivate relationships with stars in the worlds of music, food and wine that converge to create such a unique experience at our five locations around the country. The Open is our opportunity to express this vision at a much larger scale, with the same commitment to quality, in a two-day experience in our own backyard.”
