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 in four days and nights of music on multiple stages, plus workshops, showcases, and much, much more!  

There is a Pre-Festival Jam Camp for ages 12 and up starting on Tuesday, and then the Festival starts in earnest on Thursday evening!

It's a summer's worth of music and family fun 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 (kids under 18 are FREE!), visit the food trucks and craft booths, or plant your chair in the natural amphitheater and listen to nearly 30 hours of great music!
