“Grab your tickets starting August 1st for this fun bluegrass festival.”
The 2026 Bluegrass Festival is an outdoor afternoon music event held on the historic grounds of Moorefields in Hillsborough. Running from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the festival features five local bands, including Slippery Hill and GrassStreet, performing back-to-back sets on the lawn. If you are planning to attend, tickets cost $13.45 for adults, while children aged 12 and under are free. You will want to pack lawn chairs or a large blanket since seating is not provided. This event makes a relaxed weekend outing because the open lawn format allows children to move around and play while parents sit back and listen to the music. It offers a casual, low-pressure environment where you do not have to worry about kids staying perfectly quiet during the performances.
