The Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival

The 2003 Bluegrass Festival attracted 5000 fans and showcased more than three dozen professional musicians; the headliner that year was Doc Watson. The 2004 shows were even better attended and fans enjoyed the music of Ralph Stanley, Jessie McReynolds, and many others. Music is all over town, at the historic Auditorium, in Basin Park, on the streets, in restaurants and hotels.

2008 looks to be another great year at the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Festival! Many old friends and new faces are lined up for old and new bluegrass music fans. Join us August 21 through 24!
