Bluegrass Festival at Wayside Park

Welcome to the 16th Annual Event for Wayside Bluegrass Festival, in the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains, just off the parkway in Patrick County, Virginia. We are an outdoor event, in a hollar, surrounded by trees, with a stage up front, no bad seat in the house!

We have 3 days of foot stompin' traditional bluegrass music -- rain or shine. This year we have some very talented and famous musicians, right here from our own backyard, Sammy Shelor with Lonesome River Band, The Hutchens are getting back together for our bluegrass festival (we are honored) and up and coming Olivia Jo.

Our family friendly Wayside Park has on-site camping, so you can come stay with us for the whole weekend or just enjoy the day of fun and music. We have rough tent camping and RV sites with electrical and water hookups.

Bluegrass is a universal language of music that's why our bluegrass family is from all over the US and abroad (England, Australia). Don't forget to bring your favorite instruments for the famous jamin' sessions and chairs --maybe some sunscreen--.

We have on-site vendors and real close to food and shopping in the town of Stuart, VA.
