Since 2001, the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival has brought people together through music, education, and the preservation of traditional bluegrass. Each year, fans from across the country and around the world gather in Vermont to experience not only outstanding performances, but the shared spirit that defines this uniquely American art form.

As a family-owned and operated festival, we are committed to fostering a welcoming, multi-generational environment where music, learning, and connection thrive.

It is our mission to:

…present artistic line-ups that showcase the depth and evolution of bluegrass, featuring legends, contemporary artists, regional favorites, and emerging talent.

…offer a family-friendly event with programming for all ages, including youth-focused activities that encourage the next generation to engage with music.

…connect fans and artists through hands-on, educational experiences, including workshops, Bluegrass University, and informal jam sessions that preserve and pass on musical traditions.

…support cultural preservation by celebrating the history, stories, and heritage of bluegrass music through programming and community participation.

…maintain an affordable and accessible event. Jenny Brook is not profit-driven—we strive for sustainability so this experience remains available for years to come.

We feel a deep responsibility to the artists, fans, and community who return year after year, and it is through their continued support that Jenny Brook remains a place where music, learning, and connection come together.
