2021 Shady Grove Bluegrass Music Festival

The festival will remain the same family friendly event we have had for many years, with some bonuses. The new venue offers excellent dry camping. You can expect

to set up and jam with your friends in the same Shady Grove tradition as always.

In addition, because we are in the town of Sundre, those who want to attend but not camp have access to excellent hotels and motel very near the festival grounds.

There will be an open mic, workshops, and great performances. There will also be a saloon, perhaps a beer garden, food trucks, and performances by some of the best bluegrass groups from western Canada.

There will be workshops and facilitated jams, so expect to get some sore fingers by the end of the weekend. See our website for ticket deals and the latest information.

Access to the many amenities Sundre

has to offer is a great bonus, and part

of a perfect getaway, with great golf

and over 4000 camping sites in the area. For those that want a little time away from the festival Sundre has restaurants,

a historic village, and some wonderful paths and hiking trails close to the festival site.
