Johnson County Fairgrounds. Advance sales for the 3-day
festival
ticket and daily tickets are now available. You can get your

 We're excited that
Bluegrass Camps for Kids will return for the 2012 festival from July
4-6, 2012. This will be a three day bluegrass and folk music
program for children aged 9 to 18, organized and taught by members of
the band Spring Creek. Children can pick from a wide range of
classes, including all levels of guitar, bass, banjo, fiddle, and
vocals. Campers will also experience band class with their
peers, daily jams, square dances, art projects, and optional private
lessons. The Camp will conclude with a main stage performance
on Friday, July 6th, at 3:15 p.m. For 2012 camp information
and application forms please visit Bluegrass Camps for Kids.
This
website is the
source for information about the festival, so be
sure
and check back here often to keep up with the latest news about all the
activities, happenings, and plans. We
also

We have another fantastic lineup for 2012 including Houston Jones,
Northern Departure, Travers Chandler & Avery County, The Jalan
Crossland Band, Springcreek, and Troxel & Krieger, and more to
be announced! Check
out their bios in Bands.
There
will be lots of fun in 2012, including the Wyoming
Mandolin and Banjo Championships, an Old
Time Fiddle Contest, and a Guitar
contest too, with the winners of the mandolin, banjo, and
fiddle contest all winning guaranteed slots at the Walnut
Valley Festival contests in Winfield,
Kansas. Don't miss the Band Scramble on Saturday afternoon, and there
will be a variety of workshops
hosted by our performers. We'll have instrument
raffles (check the link for our 2011 offers and check back in
the spring as we announce our 2012 offers), food and craft vendors, a
pancake breakfast, great folks, and lots of jamming. It will all add up
to a super time.
 Each year, the
beautiful Big Horn
Mountains frame the festival at the
Johnson County Fairgrounds where you will enjoy the true festival
experience. Bring your tent, camper, or RV and spend the
entire weekend
with us and enjoy some of the best parkin' lot pickin' in the Rocky
Mountains.
