The 9th annual Mayville Bluegrass Festival
June 19-20, 2010
PLEASE READ BELOW!

It is with great regret that the Mayville Bluegrass Festival Committee announces the cancellation of the 2010 Mayville Bluegrass Festival. The increasing financial demands of maintaining our expected high caliber of entertainment plus the decrease in grant monies and big ticket sponsors have forced us to take a year’s ...hiatus.
The Mayville Bluegrass Festival was begun in 2002 and has featured high-quality, internationally known performers, including Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, Chris Hillman, Chuck Pyle, Sierra Hull, Rhonda Vincent, Norman Blake, and Tony Rice. We appreciate the support and help of the community and fully expect to be back in 2011 with a revamped format and the return of nationally-sponsored contests and workshops.
We would like to thank all of the performers who have already agreed to be part of this year's festival, and regret that we will not be able to delight in their craft this year. We sincerely hope that each of you will consider being a part of the 2011 festival lineup.

Don't delay booking your accommodations for the weekend!
No camping is allowed at Lakeside Park (Village rules) which is part of the reason we try to keep ticket prices low. For some suggestions, please visit the accommodations link at the top of this page. There are a variety of places to stay in and around Mayville - some even walking distance to the Park.
If you get stuck, feel free to give us a call (see the "contact" page), and we'll try to give you a hand.

Welcome to the Mayville Bluegrass Festival! We are a community supported, all-volunteer organized event in the heart of beautiful Chautauqua County. The festival is held at Lakeside Park throughout the weekend, and in a variety of bars and restaurants Saturday night. The park and late-night venues are all within the Village of Mayville on the shores of Chautauqua Lake.
Founded by local musician Bill Ward and the local Chamber of Commerce in 2002, the festival’s mission has remained constant: to present world class bluegrass music in a family-oriented environment at the lowest cost possible for the entire Chautauqua County community and beyond.
We hope this web site answers most of your questions and helps you on your way to enjoying future festivals with us! If you can’t find what you’re looking for, click the "contact" link above and send us an email. We’d be happy to hear from you. |
