47th Annual Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival 2026

Get ready for three days of toe-tappin’ music as the 47th Annual Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival returns to the Everett Bowman Rodeo Arena, November 13-15, 2026.

Produced by the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce, this longtime Wickenburg tradition is one of the oldest bluegrass festivals in the Southwest. Featured performers include Permafrost Road, TenDollar Wedding, Cross-Eyed Possum and Badly Bent.

Talented musicians will also compete throughout the weekend in fiddle, banjo, mandolin, flat-pick guitar, specialty vocals and other categories for more than $8,000 in cash prizes. A new festival-wide band scramble adds even more fun to this year’s musical lineup.

In addition to live bluegrass music, guests can enjoy food vendors, a beer garden, creative vendor booths and a new children’s activity zone. Limited camping is available near the festival grounds and must be reserved in advance through the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce.

Limited covered grandstand seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. Outside food, drinks, alcohol and coolers are not permitted. Pets are prohibited, except for service animals.

Single-day tickets and three-day festival passes are available online, at the Wickenburg Visitor Center or with cash at the gate. The festival will take place rain or shine.
