The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival: The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival is held every fourth weekend in June. It is a family oriented event providing an exciting weekend of bluegrass entertainment to our festival goers. In addition to providing great bluegrass music, it provides an opportunity for junior fiddlers to compete in a fiddle contest, new bluegrass bands to perform in public (our "Band Contest"), and other activities (such as "Bluegrass Karaoke") that the whole family can enjoy.
The Bluegrass in the Schools Program: The Bluegrass in the Schools Program introduces students, parents, and teachers to bluegrass music-- a uniquely American form of traditional music. Full details of this program can be found in the document: The Traditional American Music Program.
