~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Host Hotel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The DoubleTree Dallas Hotel near the Galleria has invit
ed us to fill the hotel with music and non-stop jamming! Jamming rooms will be available and may be requested at check-in – so you can jam all night in your room! The upper floors will be quiet floors for light sleepers.
DISCOUNTED ROOM RATES for the Championships and the Bluegrass Heritage Festival are available at this link. Our discounted block at $94/night that includes HOT BUFFET BREAKFAST FOR TWO is sold out, but the hotel is still giving us a discounted rate. The Foundation has partnered with the DoubleTree to make this weekend possible, and we need your help to make it work. Rooms booked through our links are the only ones that count toward our quota.
You may also book by phone by calling (972) 385-9000 and asking for the BLUEGRASS rate.
