23rd Annual Bluegrass Festival

August 13-15, 2010

"The Grand Targhee Bluegrass festival reminds me of Telluride in the early days. Go there now and beat the crowds."
-Tim O'Brien

The "grandfather of Bluegrass Festivals in the northern Rockies" and one of the most memorable music festivals of the summer season.

Great food, arts & crafts, games and on-site activities are all a part of our summer music festivals. Tent camping at Grand Targhee in our beautiful national forest is available during the Bluegrass Music Festival weekend. The Bluegrass Festival continues to attract the country's greatest bluegrass talent to our outdoor stage. Music jams and contests round out this weekend of toe tapping fun and entertainment. Take advantage of our FREE shuttle service and leave your vehicle in Driggs.
