Shady Grove Bluegrass Music Festival

Shady Grove Bluegrass Music Festival in Sundre’s Central Prairies region offers a family-friendly weekend of live bluegrass and jamming fun. Set among the trees near 410 2 Ave NW, this long-running festival keeps its relaxed, pick-all-night atmosphere, with excellent dry camping so guests can settle in and play. Those who prefer a soft bed can stay at nearby hotels and motels just minutes from the grounds. Festival-goers can join open mic sessions, attend workshops and facilitated jams, and catch performances by bluegrass groups from western Canada. With a lively saloon, possible beer garden, and food trucks on site, it is easy to spend the whole weekend listening, learning, and picking until your fingers are sore.
