FreshGrass is rich in both traditional and cutting-edge bluegrass, presented in a wide array of venues tucked appropriately into a 19th-century factory turned 21st-century museum… all set amidst the beautiful backdrop of the Berkshire mountains in northwestern Massachusetts.

Music starts early in the museum courtyards, moves to our spacious (and grassy!) urban concert meadow, and then continues until past your bedtime with wild and wooly late-night barn dances in the Hunter Center on Friday and Saturday nights. The lineup is jam-packed with guitar gods and banjo gurus, traditionalists and trailblazers — artists you already know and love along with new FreshGrass discoveries. Taken together, it’s an expansive group of performers who both draw on the past and look to the future.

Elsewhere on campus, workshops will be going throughout the morning and finalists will compete for the Freshgrass Awards. Stay tuned for more details.

FreshGround is a tent-camping field within easy walking distance (.7 miles; 12 minutes) to the festival, convenient to downtown merchants, bars, and restaurants. There’s a shuttle bus to ferry you when you need it.
