Welcome to Bluegrass & BBQ Festival
Lots of fun patriotic decorations around the park
Bunting on the Hotel (Ice Cream Parlor)
Lots of bunting on the fence above Echo Hollow
Even some behind the photo sign in The Plaza
We saw several of the Bluegrass Acts today.
This is The Ozark Echoes in Dockside Theater
The "big name band" performing in the Opera House
was Tennesse Bluegrass Band
They were by far the best band we would see today
2026 SPBGMA "Songwriter of the Year" Rick Farris was performing in the Riverfront Playhouse
Finally Lori King and Junction 63 was performing in Boatworks Theater
The BBQ side of the festival was taking place in the Red Gold Heritage Hall
They had several booths to pick from and Kinfolk Bluegrass Band was performing on the stage while you ate.
