Minnesota Bluegrass August Festival 2025

August 7 @ 5:00 pm - August 10 @ 2:00 pm

mn-bluegrass-fest-2025

Four Days of Music, Dancing, Camping, and Fun under the Trees! 

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!

However you experience the festival, you’ll have a GREAT time!

For the first time, this year’s August Festival will have FREE ADMISSION! Everyone can experience the August Festival with no admission fee, you only pay for camping or parking.

A note on Free Admission:

The Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association is dedicated to presenting the very best in Bluegrass, Old-Time and Related music to a wide audience.

We have chosen to make the Festival Admission Free to encourage families to attend and to introduce more people to the music and artists we love.

Despite admission being Free, we still have to earn money by charging for the space you and your vehicle take up. Please do not try to game the system to save a few dollars by sneaking in and camping without paying. This experiment in radical accessibility will only work if people play by the rules.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Pick on!
