Wintergrass has been home to Grammy and IBMA award-winning artists as well as a springboard for emerging young artists, attracting not just fans, but also musicians and artists from regional and national favorites to international acts.

In addition to more than 70 hours of musical performances, Wintergrass also offers a robust selection of unique educational academies and workshops including PintGrass, a new music program for children 4-7 years. All ages can jam at any of the 75 free family-friendly workshops offered during the festival itself.
