The Shady Grove Bluegrass Festival has run annually for nearly 30 years, delivering top notch entertainment, workshops and jamming. The Festival is now held in Sundre, Alberta, in the shadow of Snake Hill at the Sundre Pro Rodeo Grounds. The Festival is run by a committed group of volunteers and is a not for profit event.
Shady Grove is a showcase for Canadian talent such as: The Lonesome Ace Stringband, The Slocan Ramblers and Jake Vaadeland and the Sturgeon River Boys. High profile groups from further afield have included: The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, Special Consensus, Dry Branch Fire Squad, Chris and Sally Jones and Jeff Scroggins and Colorado. The Foothills Bluegrass Music Society works hard all year to round up top notch talent for the Festival.
