Granite Hill Camping Resort has been home to the internationally acclaimed Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival since 1979! Festival Founders, Joe & Lil Cornett, were awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award by the International Bluegrass Music Association on September 27, 2012 in recognition of their pioneering accomplishments that have fostered bluegrass music’s image and broadened its recognition and accessibility. The festival, still held twice a year in May and August, is a celebration and presentation of traditional and contemporary bluegrass music, with a sprinkling of classic country, newgrass, and other related acoustic styles. Concerts are presented on a beautiful timber frame stage, built in 2010 and situated among the rolling hills of Granite Hill Camping Resort’s 150 acres of farmland.
Each festival has featured informative workshops presented by your favorite artists, meet and greets with fans, food trucks of varying cuisine, arts & crafts vendors, as well as, other activities, such as fishing, swimming, mini-golf, and horseshoes, to fill your days when not enjoying the music. In 2023, the 84th and 85th festivals are scheduled for May 18-21 and August 17-20, 2023, respectively. Use the link below for the most up to date festival information.
