Enjoy a huge slate of toe-tappin’ good music in a 6,000 acre private nature reserve.

Bluegrass Festival

Here’s a terrific festival that’s in one of the most peaceful venues around. 

Woodlands Nature Reserve is a hidden gem in the Charleston area, located off of Ashley River Road (aka Highway 61), across from Middleton Plantation.  It encompasses 6,000 acres of private land, 11 lakes, 60 miles of wooded trails and a blackwater cypress swamp… ideal for hearing some bluegrass.

And bluegrass you will hear, for two straight days.  You can purchase single-day passes, two-day passes (regular or VIP), or camping passes, with plush camping options onsite, for both cars and RVs.

Exact dates and details for 2025 haven't been announced yet, so stay tuned.  The lineup for 2025 looksstellar  -  over 20 groups/acts, on two lakefront stages.  Performers include:
