• 2013 Festival: August 16-18.
  • Our lineup is coming together! So far John Reischman & the Jaybirds and the Blue Canyon Boys have been confirmed. Check back for more announcements shortly.

For over 20 years acoustic music lovers have gathered for three days in August, in an awesome prairie setting, to:

  • celebrate bluegrass
  • listen to talented bluegrass artists
  • participate in workshops designed to help all levels of musicians, from novice to expert, to hone their skills
  • enjoy opportunities for non-stop jamming on the festival grounds and in the campground
  • kick back and relax
  • spend quality time with family and friends!

 

 


Over the years Shady Grove Bluegrass Festival has been one of Southern Alberta's "must-experience" music destinations. Adding to the enjoyment of the music is the incredibly beautiful and relaxing atmosphere of Broadway Farm - many thanks to our host Bill Gelden!

Come for the day or camp for the whole weekend. Either way, you're sure to add Shady Grove to your list of favourite summertime activities. We'll see you there!

The Shady Grove Bluegrass Festival is now organized by the Foothills Bluegrass Music Society (see Shady Grove History).
