The East Troy Bluegrass Festival is celebrating its 25th year with a weekend lineup that once again includes two of the industry’s biggest names.
The Day 1 lineup will feature talented young picker Carson Peters and his band Iron Mountain. Volume 5, which has been blazing a red-hot trail with their live stage performances and chart-topping albums, will take the stage on Day 2.
Staying true to the festival’s roots, local, emerging and popular regional bands will pepper each day’s lineup.
The two-day East Troy Bluegrass Festival, presented by the East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, will take place Saturday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 9 at East Troy Village Square Park, 2881 Main St. The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. each day.
In addition to the musical entertainment, other festival highlights include a popular food court featuring local fare and a Marketplace featuring local crafters, artisans and farmers market vendors.
Weekend admission is $10 per person. Children 15 and younger are admitted free.
Attendees should bring their own lawn chairs. For more information, click here, call (262) 642-3770 or email vanessa@easttroy.org. Saturday's headliner Carson Peters sings "Blue Moon of Kentucky" with Bluegrass and Country legend Ricky Scaggs
