"This was the best small festival that we’ve attended. All the music was top notch. The food was great and the festival grounds were perfect for the size of the crowd. We will definitely consider coming back from Lincoln County next year."

We are thrilled to announce the return of the fourth annual Smoky Mountains Bluegrass Festival! Despite the setback of Hurricane Helene causing the cancellation of our 2024 festival, we are excited to reunite and celebrate the resilience of our community!
