Brown County welcomes the best in blues this August! The 22nd annual Bean Blossom Blues Fest is back again, bringing big names on the blues scene and plenty of jamming to the Bill Monroe Music Park and Campground. Enjoy three days of show-stopping performances, along with around-the-clock jam sessions, contests, camping, and more. This is one memorable music experience that shouldn’t be missed! 

Featuring eight straight days of some of the best in bluegrass, the Bill Monroe’s Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival is back for a 54th year! With over 70 bands scheduled to perform from sun up to sun down, no wonder this event is the oldest, continuous running bluegrass festival in the world. Showcasing top name bluegrass musicians and paying tribute to trailblazer and music legend Bill Monroe, the fest will feature daily performances and music workshops, along with vendors, food, drinks, and more.   

Jamming its way back to the Bill Monroe Music Park for a tenth year, the John Hartford Memorial Festival will showcase some of the nation’s finest Newgrass (or modern folk music) right here in Brown County! This four-day, family friendly fest will feature over 40 performers on three outdoor stages, campground jamming, children’s activities, workshops, a band contest, songwriters showcase, and more.
