bluegrass festival
Mandolin music event
A bluegrass festival is a multi-day outdoor gathering featuring live performances of bluegrass music—the acoustic string-band tradition rooted in Appalachian folk, country, and blues.
Festivals typically include multiple stages, camping, jam sessions, and workshops.
The format encourages audience participation, with attendees bringing instruments to play informally between scheduled acts: We camp at the same bluegrass festival every summer.
