The 13th Annual Wenatchee River Bluegrass Festival will take place in Cashmere, WA at the Chelan County Expo Center starting Friday June 19th and ending Sunday June 21st. This festival is all about Bluegrass music, and the preservation of its traditions and values, as well as many instruments long forgotten. They’re inviting pickers of all ages to an exciting weekend of bluegrass at its best. That means lots of nice folks coming together to share their music and their stories, seeing old friends and making new ones. A weekend where the music never stops…and not just on stage!
Come down and celebrate and encourage the talents of young musicians as well as the old timers. By doing so, we are assuring the future of acoustic roots music in America and the festival seeks to nurture that tradition.
Join us, and see what comes of it. You never know, there may be a Bluegrass musician hidden in YOU somewhere!
