About

There will be a new look to the Bluegrass Festival in 2025. PineCone and the City of Raleigh have plans to produce a newly reimagined Raleigh Wide Open Bluegrass Festival that continues the tradition of IBMA Bluegrass Live powered by PNC. The 2025 version of the festival that locals simply call “Bluegrass” will include all of the things we love about Downtown Raleigh’s signature event plus a few new surprises. Save the date and plan to join the fun Oct. 3-4, 2025.
