The 2026 festival ran July 19-Aug 2 and has finished; the 2027 festival is expected across the same late-July stretch, though no dates are posted. A two-week study-and-performance festival in its 46th year, spanning 20 genres; the 2026 season's America250 focus named bluegrass and old-time music alongside jazz, musical theater and swing dance. This listing covers the roots-music workshop strand rather than the whole festival.

Dates and prices can change — the camp's own site is always authoritative.
