Join us for the 2nd Annual Bluegrass at Altapass Festival, a weekend celebration of traditional bluegrass and bluegrass gospel music set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Taking place Saturday and Sunday, May 2–3, 2026, this year’s festival has grown into a two-day event, featuring an expanded lineup of talented regional musicians, along with two special performances from area music students and a heartfelt gospel singalong.
Festivities will be held in the Orchard’s scenic music pavilion, where rolling mountain views and live music come together in a way that’s hard to beat. Saturday’s schedule runs from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM—plenty of time to settle in, soak up the sounds, and enjoy the atmosphere.
