Does anyone know of any others that are coming up this summer?
If you like Bluegrass, probably the most well know Bluegrass festival is the Bill Monroe festival in Bean Blossom, IN (just north of Nashville). That takes place June 14-21 this year.
Most of the other festivals I can think of off the top of my head happen in the Fall.
