Higher Ground is also an annual music festival, which is a fundraising event for Holy Trinity Catholic Schools in Winsted and is staffed by hundreds of volunteers from the school and the community.

The festival takes place every August and takes place on the same grounds as Winstock, just outside of Winsted.

The Higher Ground festival has had several prominent artists such as Michael W. Smith, Rebecca St. James, MercyMe, and Jars of Clay grace its stage.

Tickets are available online at www.hgmusicfest.com.
