39th Annual Festival of the Bluegrass June 7-10

39TH ANNUAL
FESTIVAL OF THE BLUEGRASS
June 7 - 10, Kentucky Horse Park Campground

For the 39th consecutive year, the biggest names in bluegrass will converge at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground in Lexington, KY for the oldest family-run bluegrass festival in the country, the Festival of the Bluegrass.

The music begins at 7:00pm on Thursday, June 7 and concludes with a gospel show on the morning of Sunday, June 10. On the days in between, music begins at 1pm and runs until after midnight.

Started… Show more in 1974 by Bob and Jean Cornett, this event is attended by thousands and is the crown jewel of bluegrass festivals in the Bluegrass. At its heart, the mission of the Festival of the Bluegrass is to
maintain the roots of Bluegrass music in Kentucky and to honor the community spirit of
evenings spent on front porches throughout Appalachia. That same spirit can be found in “villages” around the campground as music spills beyond the stage to individual campsites.

This year the Cornett Family is excited to welcome Jim Lauderdale and The Roys to the Festival Stage, as well as 23 String Band, NewTown, Lonesome River, and Junior Sisk. Seldom Scene and IIIrd Tyme Out will reunite with the Festival Crowd, closing down the show on Friday and Saturday nights. JD Crowe, who announced his retirement earlier this year, will be playing his last Festival of the Bluegrass on Saturday night.

Tickets for this family-friendly event run between $15 for the day to $95 for the entire weekend, with an extra $20 per ticket to camp. Kids under 12 are free.
