Oyster Ridge Music Festival

The third weekend of June, Kemmer hosts Wyoming’s largest free music festival – the Oyster Ridge Music Festival (ORMF). The Oyster Ridge Music Festival started in 1993 as the brain child of Keith Chasteen a local Forest Service employee and a picker of some repute. He wanted to find a home for the newly created Wyoming State Flatpick Guitar championship. The holder of this title could represent Wyoming at the National Flatpick Guitar championships held each year in Winfield, Kansas. He approached the local Chamber of Commerce and the Music Festival was born. At the Kemmerer Triangle.
