Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Festival, the longest-running bluegrass celebration in the United States, makes its annual return to Bill Monroe’s Music Park & Campground in Bean Blossom, Indiana, from Wednesday, June 11 through Saturday, June 14, 2025. Gates open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., with on-stage performances, camping, workshops, and traditional Southern hospitality nestled in the rolling hills once trod by the Father of Bluegrass himself.

This year’s lineup features a carefully curated mix of heritage artists and rising talents. Thursday’s highlights include Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers alongside Backwoods Bluegrass, The King James Boys, Lonesome River Band and Branded Bluegrass. Friday brings a high-energy set by Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, Special Consensus, SpringStreet, Dave Adkins and newcomers Tommy Brown & Countyline Grass. On Saturday, festivalgoers will enjoy headline performances by Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys, Wilson Banjo Co., Authentic Unlimited, Clay Hess Band and the Downriver Collective. Opening festivities on Wednesday kick off with the Annual Preachin’ & Singin’ featuring Derek Dillman, Danny Davis, Miller Brothers & Friends, Rocky Branch Bluegrass Band and the beloved community Bean Dinner.

Please note: festival admission does not include camping or cabin reservations. All guests who wish to stay overnight must reserve a campsite or cabin separately—reserve your lodging online or via the “Lodging and Hotel” link at the top of the festival webpage. Because the campground lies within the festival grounds, guests must hold a valid day-ticket for each night they remain on site.
