Bluegrass in the Park is a festival for musicians founded by Doc and Luanne Bungard to provide a place for local bluegrass musicians to gather and perform.

Campsite picking is welcome all weekend and we offer a gospel service on Sunday morning before departure.
There is no charge for spectators to attend although donations are taken and appreciated. This festival has no public funding and donations make up the entire operating budget.

Bluegrass in the Park is a family-oriented festival and families with children of all ages are welcome and encouraged to attend. Alcohol is not sold on the grounds and those wishing to partake are asked to do so responsibly as not to offend.
