Welcome to The Second Annual Pend Oreille Valley Bluegrass Festival!

Join Us for an Exciting Week-Long Celebration of All-American Down-Home Family Fun, Music, Food, and Entertainment... at the Second Annual Pend Oreille Valley Bluegrass Festival! Enjoy continuous bluegrass music on the main stage, non-stop through the daylight hours Thursday through Sunday, and then enjoy the spontaneous jams and pickin' sessions that spring up in the campground throughout the week!

Update: Steve Kaufman and Gary Davis will be back, bringing their famous flatpicking, mandolin, guitar, and mandolin workshops on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!

Come Early and Join the Jamming! The Camp and Jam starts at noon Monday, Sept. 8th. Dry camping for the entire week, from Monday the 8th 'til noon, Monday the 15th is only $15! Meet some new pickers, learn some new tunes, and jam with new people! Water and free showers are available onsite, and jamming is allowed 24 hours a day! There is a Deli/Grocery across the street, and a restaurant a mile down the road. Purchasing a festival pass is not required if you just want to camp and jam.

About the Festival: Our Goal is to provide a setting where people of all ages and all walks of life can gather for a week of friendship, music, and relaxation. Above all else, a bluegrass festival is fun!

We have made it a point to keep the cost of attendance and camping as low as possible and still provide good music performances and a positive family-oriented week of entertainment.
