Welcome to the
2009 Gettysburg
August Bluegrass Festival

The Main Stage at Gettysburg has seen stellar performances by most of the world's top bluegrass artists at some point over the past 25 years. Many are regulars here. Bill Monroe performed on this stage on his 75th birthday, September 13, 1986 - to our biggest crowd ever. The late John Duffey played every Gettysburg festival from 1979 until his untimely death in 1996.

Our Workshop Stage was the scene of the "Dobro Summit", the first ever on stage combined performance by Josh Graves, Mike Auldridge, and Jerry Douglas.

And the tradition continues on the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival stages...bringing out the best of the best bluegrass artists in the world. Welcome to our 59th festival and 30th year! Our Emcees for this festival are John McCuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Wayne Bledsoe of Public Radio KUMR-FM at University of Missouri-Rolla Hank Janney, host of two Sunday bluegrass shows on Country 107.7, WGTY-FM, York and Gettysburg, PA;
