The Rites of Spring Festival, better known as RoSFest is one of North America’s longest-running and most renowned art-rock music festivals. During its 16-year tenure, RoSFest featured 166 bands from around the world. Returning after 2 long years without live music, we couldn’t be happier to head into 2022 with a new Board of Directors, a fresh vision, and most importantly, three days of groundbreaking, mind-melting live shows to remind us why RoSFest rocks!

RoSFest appoints the festival’s official photographer
