Many national recording country music artists perform at Winstock each year along with up-and-coming country music groups who are featured on a separate emerging artists’ stage.

Anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 people attend the festival each June. Campsites surround the festival area and accommodate the large number of music lovers.

Since the first Winstock in 1994, the festival has gotten larger and offered more talent.

Winstock is a fundraising event for Holy Trinity Catholic Schools in Winsted and is staffed by hundreds of volunteers from the school and the community.
