The Boston Bluegrass Union is thrilled to announce the return of the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, winter tradition!
We’re very excited to announce that the 2026 festival will be expanding to start on Thursday night with an All-Star concert, 24 hours of jamming, and workshops all day Friday. It’ll be like adding a full day of JamVal before Joe Val even begins!
Then on Friday night, we’ll return to the full festival with top-tier bands on the Main Stage, plus the Showcase Stage, Kids’ Academy, workshops, and round-the-clock jamming continuing throughout the weekend.
