Boats and Bluegrass Festival

Boats and Bluegrass is a family friendly festival held on the Mississippi River in Winona, Minnesota.  We pride ourselves in providing a fun, safe, and friendly festival environment.  If you are looking for a laid-back festival with none of the large-fest hassles, this is your place.

80 Acres of Camping. Non-stop music. 3 Awesome Days.

Bluegrass, Folk, Americana, Country, Old-time, and everything in between! We celebrate roots music with over 40 bands all weekend long. Kids 16 and under are free with a paying adult.
