Each year, Grey Fox transforms a working farm into a jam-packed festival with 50 bands across six stages, attracting thousands of fans from across the country over five days of bluegrass, newgrass and roots music.

With on-site camping, space for dancing, hands-on workshops, kids’ activities, diverse food options and more, Grey Fox offers a one-of-a-kind, all ages festival experience. Attendees can enjoy everything from yoga to jam sessions at Jam Central, or instrument workshops that honor the deep legacy of bluegrass. The Grass Roots Stage highlights emerging artists, while the Family Stage offers music and activities tailored for kids.

Those ages 8-17 can also be introduced to and taught traditional bluegrass music at the Bluegrass Academy. Classes are limited to ten students each, so early registration is encouraged. Those interested can register here.

After over 40 years, the event has grown into more than just a festival– it’s a tight-knit community united by the shared tradition of bluegrass.
