Is the Bluegrass Heritage Festival 2020 Still On? 

(3/25/2020)  To all the fans, sponsors, and artists looking forward to the Bluegrass Heritage Festival and Texas State Championships: We are following the news about the virus but, with five weeks to go, we remain optimistic that there may be some progress so that our events can happen safely and as scheduled. We realize this appears unlikely but remain hopeful.  If it doesn’t work out, we’ll reschedule and notify everyone by e-mail and social media. Thank you for your support!

If you want to connect with jammers, fans, bluegrass music festivals, and other bluegrass music events in Texas, then you’re in the right place. The Bluegrass Heritage Foundation exists to preserve and promote the heritage of bluegrass music. We focus on presenting bluegrass music and bluegrass music festivals in Texas. We work to educate people about our favorite kind of music in many ways, such as programs and workshops, public performances of bluegrass music, and the Bluegrass Heritage Radio Show. Because of our wonderful partnerships with cities around D/FW, many of our bluegrass music festivals are free with no ticket required! 

Of course, our most important effort is the free bluegrass instrument lending program for young people – Play It Forward!^®  The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with an all-volunteer staff that loves to present bluegrass music and bluegrass music festivals in Texas. Please contact us with any questions.
