While the world slowly reopens (or gets into another lockdown, depends on which part of the world you're from), expect more virtual concerts and festivals to come your way.

The bluegrass festival calendar is always thin in February; this year it’s almost vanished. Things pick up as spring approaches though, and we’ve updated the calendar through August. Given the uncertainty about when things will open up for large crowds, all these listings should be considered preliminary. For each month we now show a list of festivals scheduled for 2020 that haven’t posted information for 2021. We want to make this the most complete bluegrass, roots and old-time festival listing on the web, so if you have information on an event, let us know so we can add it to the list or modify what’s there. Check back often, as we add new shows when we find them.

The in Florida will be a “socially distanced event,” with some of the artists who were slated to appear at the 2020 festival. The is going to be a one-day dinner theater event celebrating the new book The will be a one-day free streaming event. The ‘in NC moves to September.
As always, it’s definitely a good idea to call before making travel plans. We’re tracking all sources of information and will update event status on this site as often as we learn of changes. If an event is listed as CANCELED, it will not be held this year. If it’s listed as POSTPONED, the sponsors are hoping to reschedule.
The international section of the calendar shows dates that have been announced for 2021.
“Bluegrass festival” is a broad category, encompassing everything from old time fiddlers’ conventions to jamgrass gatherings. We’ve provided links to the festival websites so you can check the lineups, schedules, admission fees, facilities, whether there’s camping, jamming etc. We don’t list festivals for which we can’t find a valid link.
So pack up your instruments, load the camper (don’t forget masks and hand sanitizer) and hit the road! And listen to A Bluegrass Morning weekdays from 7 to 10, when Jonathan Fine brings you updates on festivals and shows around the country.
