50th Anniversary Festival
We would like to thank everyone that came out and made this 50th Anniversary Festival and record setting event - we couldn't have done it without each and everyone of you!
This festival is an old time bluegrass music tradition started by Dr. Ralph Stanley and continuing today in his honor. Dr. Ralph's wish was that Ralph II would take over managing the festival, which he did in 2012. Ralph II earned his dad's confidence and trust, and he takes great pride in continuing to honor his dad by making the festival a true tribute to the legendary Dr. Ralph Stanley and continuing to bring talented bluegrass musicians to the stage for the fans.
The sound of banjos, mandolins and voices ringing high on top of some of the most beautiful mountains you will ever see!
Check out our schedule page for one of the best line-ups in traditional bluegrass music! Since we're celebrating the 50th Anniversary of this festival we have an expanded line-up and will be starting the festival on Wednesday.
See map below for directions to the festival - hope to see ya'll there!!
