The Green River Festival is an annual music and hot air balloon festival in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It added a family stage (the "Meltdown Stage") in 2010, produced by Bill Childs and WRSI-FM.
The family stage is the third stage, after the main stage (which features the likes of Emmylou Harris, Cake, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, and others) and the dance tent (which has hosted Winterpills, Sweetback Sisters, Rubblebucket, and others). The family stage has both traditional family acts and acts "borrowed" from other stages. Around dusk on Saturday night, the family stage switches over to being a locals stage.
