The 19th annual
will be staged over the weekend of Friday 18th to Sunday 20th August, a celebration of Bluegrass and Old time Country Music and centered on the historic town of Beechworth in north eastern Victoria.
The beginnings go back to 1999 when a couple of musicians and their families got together for a relaxed weekend of country music. Today it attracts as many as 500 musicians and is still growing steadily.
The event is held at Beechworth's 'Old Priory', a 19th Century Catholic convent. All workshops and afternoon concerts are staged at the priory with evening concerts held at local hotels.
The features some of the country's foremost Bluegrass and Old Time Country musicians in concerts and workshops where visitors are bound to see and hear something very special.
An on-line Weekend Pass (Friday to Sunday inclusive) costs $95 but if you're quick you might just get an 'Early Bird' Weekend Pass for $85, but only til the end of July.
A Weekend Pass at the door costs $105 ($95 Concession) and a Saturday/Sunday Pass $95 ($90 Concession).
Note: There are no credit card/EFTPOS facilities available at registration or the venues.
Beechworth is 285 Kilometres north east of Melbourne, about a 3-hour drive via the Hume Freeway and Wangaratta.
