Grammy-winner and chart-toppers to perform at Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival in 2023

Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival returns this summer for its 10th year, and it’s accompanied by a packed concert lineup.

The festival, which celebrates the region’s food and agriculture, runs from Sept. 7 to Sept. 23 in downtown Sacramento. It features the iconic Tower Bridge Dinner and a two-day free street festival on Friday and Saturday. There, you can find local food and wine, cooking demonstrations and free live music.

A handful of artists will be performing each day, organizers announced Tuesday, including big names.

On Friday, alternative and electro-pop band Cannons will headline the festival. The trio recently performed at this year’s Coachella, after having released their third album “Fever Dream” in 2022.

The band is joined by soul artist Danielle Ponder and blues guitarist Eric Gale.

Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals will be headlining Saturday night. Ben Harper is a three-time Grammy-winning pop and soul singer. The band was nominated for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 2008 50th annual Grammy Awards for its song “Paris Sunrise #7.”

Billboard chart-topper Michael Franti & Spearhead, Jean Dawson and Zia Victoria will be joining the lineup on Saturday.
