Festival promoters, organizers and sponsors. We’re assembling the 2025 calendar and need your help.
We don’t list an event until we have a verified date. If your website or Facebook page isn’t up to date, we have no way of knowing when your festival is scheduled. Send us your updated information using this form or email it to calendar@bluegrasscountry.org.

Welcome to the Bluegrass Country festival calendar. We list bluegrass, old time and Americana festivals in the US and Canada by month, plus a separate section for festivals beyond North America. If you know about a 2024 festival that isn’t on our list, please send us the information.
“Bluegrass festival” is a broad category, encompassing old time fiddlers’ conventions, family weekends, street fairs, mega-music festivals and everything in between. We’ve provided links to the festival websites so you can check the lineups, schedules, admission fees, facilities, whether there’s camping, jamming etc. Our calendar only lists events when we can find a current secure website or Facebook page. Check back often, as we add new events when we find them.
So pack up your instruments, load the camper and hit the road!
