Ripe Summer Beach Party Goes Big For 2024
That Ripe show at Indian Ranch? It’s now the Ripe Summer Beach Party. And it’s coming up this weekend.
2024 has been the summer of the mini-festival. While Somerville’s NICE a fest expanded to four days, smaller festivals like the Lowell Folk Festival and Rat City Arts Festival packed a lot into two days and one day, respectively.
Now, what started as just a summertime show at Indian Ranch has become a Summer Beach Party. Which is basically a fancy way of saying one-day festival. So let’s get you the details on the Ripe Summer Beach Party at Indian Ranch this weekend.
Ripe Summer Beach Party: When?
It’s happening on Saturday, August 10, 2024. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., and music gets underway at 11:45 a.m. Oh, and I’m burying the lede here. Ripe, if you’re not familiar, are the L.A. alt-pop band with Boston roots: they formed at Berklee in 2011.
Ripe Summer Beach Party: Where?
It’s all going down at Indian Ranch in Webster, MA: on the shores of Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. You know, the lake with the longest name of any geographic feature in the entire United States. It’s Algonquin for “Fishing Place at the Boundaries—Neutral Meeting Grounds.”
Ripe Summer Beach Party: Who?
Ripe are your headliner, of course. Joining Ripe for the festive afternoon of music will be The Free Label, Bermuda Search Party, and Will Evans. And yes, you read that right: afternoon. I’m loving this trend of daytime shows during the summer.
Ripe Summer Beach Party: What Else?
Tickets start at $35.50, which is reasonable. There are Concert Club and Pre-Show Cruise options, as well as reserved parking. Get all those details, as well as what you can and can’t bring to Indian Ranch, here. Tickets, too. And enjoy the Summer Beach Party!
