“We won’t be stopped. We’ll be back… The pandemic and this disaster proved to me all the more about how beloved Stern Grove is and how much people care about it.” - Festival Executive Director Bob Fiedler.

A lovely photo from 1939, during the Festival's 2nd season.
Now celebrating our 85th year, we work hard to uphold - & expand on - the incredible vision of our beloved founder, Mrs. Rosalie Meyer Stern, who believed music and the arts should be available to everyone.
