Plan Now :: Merlefest 2006

With the assistance of the late Ralph Rinzler the first MerleFest took place in late April of 1988 with a relatively small number of America’s foremost acoustic artists playing on stage in the college’s John A. Walker Center and on the deck of two flatbed trucks in front of the Cabin to a crowd of 4,000 people. MerleFest now involves more than 78,000 participants including more than 100 artists and bands that perform on one or more of the festival’s thirteen stages and annually produces a boost to the regional economy exceeding $15 million.

Merlefest occurs this year April 27-30. Come out and enjoy. I'll be there!
