Featuring a twin-fiddle frontline backed by a versatile rhythm section of guitar, bass, and drums, The Red Stick Ramblers have been astonishing audiences at dance halls, festivals, and concert halls around the world since 2002, when they first emerged from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A unique hybrid of Cajun, honky-tonk, and swing, The Ramblers’ honest and hard-driving music is inseparable from their way of life and the rich Louisiana culture that first inspired them.Bring the family and enjoy an evening concert that evokes late-night campfire sessions, rowdy all night dances, and raucous family reunions.
Arrive for an afternoon picnic and a stroll through Middleton Place’s stunning landscaped gardens. Of course, no Finale would be complete without a spectacular post-concert fireworks display to bring the Festival to its traditional celebratory close.
The Finale Beer Garden returns in 2013!
