Blue Highway Fest is about far more than the incredible performances from artists in this year’s lineup, like Doyle Lawson, Dailey & Vincent, Rhonda Vincent, The Boxcars, The Grascals, and festival hosts Blue Highway. It is four days of reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and becoming part of a community that feels like family.
Throughout the campground, impromptu jam sessions continue long after the final encore, with musicians of every skill level gathering around campfires to share songs and stories. Wander the festival grounds to discover artisan vendors, delicious food, and opportunities to meet the artists who help keep bluegrass traditions alive.
Beyond the festival, the historic mountain town of Big Stone Gap welcomes visitors with charming shops, local restaurants, scenic mountain views, and authentic Appalachian hospitality.
Whether you’re picking tunes until sunrise, exploring the town, or simply relaxing with friends, Blue Highway Fest offers an unforgettable experience that extends well beyond the stage. It’s a celebration of music, community, and the traditions that bring bluegrass fans back year after year.
Blue Highway Fest runs from October 8-11. Tickets are available now online.
