Kicking off Thursday, June 15 with a Doc Watson tribute at App Theatre, the festival will begin by honoring one of the most iconic musical legends that called the High Country home. Bands will play Doc’s greatest hits and other inspired bluegrass hits to pay homage to the man that gave the genre a new life.

Moving into Friday, several bands will play in the evening at the stage on North Depot Street before the location is transformed for the first of two silent discos of the weekend that evening.

Saturday is the main day of festivities, with performances and activities from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. All across downtown, festival attendees will fill the streets trav- eling from stage to stage, visiting the more than 80 vendors along the way.
