INFORMATION | TICKETS

MN Bluegrass Festival

The Minnesota Bluegrass August Festival is held annually and features top national touring acts as well as the best bands from the Upper Midwest region. It’s four days of music on six stages, plus workshops, showcases, dances, jams, and much more!

Sign up for the pre-Festival Jam Camp for ages 12 and up, starting Tuesday, and then the Festival starts in earnest on Thursday evening!

It’s a summer’s worth of music and family fun, all in one week! Bluegrass, Old-Time Stringband, and related forms of acoustic and Americana music are combined to suit a wide range of interests.

Bring your own instrument and join in a jam or workshop, sign up the kids for the talent show, visit the food trucks and craft booths, or plant your chair in the shaded natural amphitheater, and listen to nearly 30 hours of great music!

Festival admission is FREE! You’ll pay only for Daily Parking OR Camping Options.
