This edition of my ever popular festival series takes me over to the scenic state of Virginia…Bristol Virginia to be exact. Now before I move on to anything else about this festival it IS INDOORS AND happens at a hotel and convention center already. So with that being said I have NOT researched any further hotels for this article, instead I’ll just include the location link for the festival itself.<\/p>\n

THIS<\/a> is the link to the convention center that is hosting this event and you can directly buy tickets to this event HERE<\/a>. This one is a two day indoor event and honestly the ease of getting to your room without getting into a vehicle is truly nice. I like this event a LOT!<\/p>\n

The lineup is truly awesome and it features some headliners within the ranks of Bluegrass for sure! Some of these acts at an area would cost half of the whole festival total! As always the band names are linked to websites all you need to do is click on the ones you haven’t heard of.<\/p>\n
