GENERAL INFO

Is it REALLY at The Bill Monroe Homeplace? YES! The festival is hosted by the Bill Monroe Foundation and main stage is located behind Bill's restored childhood home.

I'd like to donate to the festival and help with the cost of bringing it back.
THANK YOU! Hosting a festival such as this is no small undertaking. Please see the donation section at the bottom of the home page of this site!
