Nominated IBMA Event of the Year 3 Times!

Welcome to the 33rd annual Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Festival webpages. There is a wealth of information available about this year's big event, and we update the site with new information as we get it. Use the menu to the left or the links below. If you don't find what you are looking for you can also call 1-800-635-3037 or email us at info@minnesotabluegrass.org.

Would you like a general overview of the festival? Try the festival preview page. Or maybe you would like to know about the history of the festival (we have been nominated three times by the International Bluegrass Music Association in Nashville for Event of the Year).

Make your plans. There are detailed schedules for the Mainstage, Showcase Tent, Workshop Area, Family Area, and all the other venues like the Young Talent Stage, the Marketplace Stage, the Gathering Place, and Ranch House Live.

You'll want to consider registering for either the bluegrass or old-time stringband instructional camps that are held in the days prior to the festival. There is detailed information about getting advance tickets and camping. Can you help us by volunteering?

Are you looking for directions and a map to get you there? Or a local motel? Information about the grounds and facilities? Try the festival location page. Or are you looking for maps of the festival grounds that you can view or download? The list of frequently asked questions will most likely give you the answer to many other questions.
