Appalachian Fiddle and Bluegrass Association 37th Annual Bluegrass Festival

End: Sunday, August 2, 2026 2:00PM

Set against a scenic, wooded backdrop, the festival brings together musicians and fans of all ages for a weekend of live performances, informal jam sessions, and hands-on learning experiences. Attendees can enjoy performances by dozens of regional and national bluegrass bands throughout the weekend, along with instrument workshops led by professional musicians. The festival also offers family-friendly activities such as arts and crafts, tie-dye, movies, and a free Youth Academy where young musicians can learn and perform on stage. With on-site camping, vendors, and a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere, the AFBA Festival invites guests to relax, connect, and experience the spirit of bluegrass—whether gathered around campfires at night or enjoying music across the park during the day.
