The Batavia Ramble

06/07/2026

Just to clear up some confusion, last night’s event in Jackson Square was the Batavia “Rumble” a first year wrestling event also being held in Jackson Square. The two decade running Batavia “Ramble” Music and Art Festival is still happening Saturday July 11th next month. We are aware that this year’s date change and having two events with similar names in the same location has caused some confusion as The Ramble name was mistakenly used in multiple posts included some media outlets. We look forward to seeing everyone next month. We have an amazing line up in the works with multiple new bands playing for the first time this year! Well post that just as soon as we have all the bands confirmed. Until then… Ramble On!!! 🎸

The 2026 Ramble Band Application period is now closed. Thank you to all the groups who applied—we truly appreciate the overwhelming response this year. We are currently reviewing all submissions. Due to the high number of applications, we may ask solo or duo artists who are also members of other accepted groups to consider giving up their solo/duo slot this year. This will help ensure that as many artists and bands as possible have the opportunity to perform.

If you submitted an application but are no longer able to perform this year, please let us know as soon as possible, as there will likely be a waiting list.

Acceptance emails will be going out shortly, so please begin checking your email this week. Once you receive an acceptance email, please respond at your earliest convenience. As soon as we hear back from all confirmed bands, we will finalize the lineup and performance times and share that information as quickly as possible.

Thank you again to everyone that submitted, looking forward to another fantastic year! Ramble on!!!

Reminder, applications for bands and vendors for the 2026 Batavia Ramble are out now! Links for both will be posted in the comments below. Bands can apply through the Google Docs link and vendors through GO ART!’s website. These two links are THE ONLY ways to apply to play or be a vendor at the event. Any person posting comments on any pages or posts asking for you to reach out to them personally to apply to be a vendor is a SCAM. We’ve already seen this on our Event page this year so please be cautious and don’t fall for these scammers.
