Bluegrass fans from across the region are invited to gather at the Island Park Amphitheater in Ronceverte for the Skyline Bluegrass Festival on the River, a special one-day event celebrating the legacy of the original Skyline Bluegrass Festival, which was held from 1976 to 1985 on a mountaintop farm overlooking a river.

Set against the scenic backdrop of the Greenbrier Valley, the festival will feature a full day of live bluegrass performances on both the Main Stage and Side Stage, showcasing a mix of established performers and regional favorites. Organizers hope to honor the rich musical tradition of the historic Skyline Festival while creating a welcoming atmosphere for a new generation of bluegrass enthusiasts.
