Folk Alley Festival Feature: Orange Blossom Revue 2024
For many of us, summer is officially “Festival Season.” Great festivals, all around the world, incredible lineups, warm weather (hopefully not too hot!), and the kind of good food that only seems to be available between April and August. Yeah, summer is pretty special.
With the onset of fall and winter, one might feel like slowly retreating from society. HOWEVER, there are simply incredible opportunities to enjoy music all year long. This year, we decided to feature some remarkable festivals that DON’T happen during the sweet months of summer.
Coming up December 6 and 7 in Lake Wales, Florida, catch some sunshine — and good music — at the Orange Blossom Revue. This festival is a unique winter highlight and a gem for roots music lovers, too. Started in 2014, the Orange Blossom Revue has grown from a community fundraiser into a boutique festival that draws crowds from all over, thanks to a blend of top-notch talent and a classic, laid-back Florida vibe. They pack in a LOT of great music for a 2-day event, that’s for sure.
This year, the lineup is stacked with heavy hitters and rising stars alike, including The War and Treaty, Robert Earl Keen, Steep Canyon Rangers, and more.
Alongside music, festival-goers can enjoy local food trucks, craft beer, and the beautiful natural surroundings—a perfect winter getaway for music fans looking to trade in their snow boots for flip-flops! And, if you like camping, this might be the perfect winter festival for you!

Read on to enjoy some of the highlights from this year’s lineup (as chosen by Folk Alley).
Friday, December 6th: The War and Treaty
Guaranteed to get you singing and swaying along, this husband-wife-duo just keeps getting better.
“Stealing a Kiss”
Saturday, December 7: Steep Canyon Rangers
It’s always a treat to hear this band perform live; their energy is never anything OTHER than utterly infectious.
“Recommend Me”
Saturday, December 7: Emily Nenni
This Nashville-based singer/songwriter was PLANNING on not including the “singer” part of that descriptor on her cv. Fortunately (for us), she’s now doing both things — and doing them really well, too.
“Amarillo Highway”
The above represents JUST A SMALL TASTE of the performances you’ll enjoy at this year’s Orange Blossom Revue! To whet your whistle, check out this fun video from last year’s festival!
