This year is the 10th anniversary of the free music festival which is held in the first weekend of October every year. The festival used to be called “Strictly Bluegrass” when only bluegrass musicians were invited, but now artists from other genres are invited as well. This is why the festival is now called “Hardly Strictly Bluegrass”.

No tickets are needed to attend the event. Performances will begin on stage at 10:30 AM on Friday. The official 2010 lineup for the festival is in, and it features acts such as “The Ebony Hillbillies, P.M.W, MC Hammer, Buddy Miller, Joan Baez, Moonalice, The Felice Brothers, Martin Sexton, Mondo Cane, Indigo Girls, Rosanne Cash, Nick Lowe, Citigrass, Basia Bulat, Kate Gaffney, The Avett Brothers and lots more.
