General Information

The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival is sponsored by the Skiatook Bluegrass Association, Inc. The Skiatook Bluegrass Association is organized under the laws of the state of Oklahoma as a non-profit, volunteer-based organization. It is not organized for the private gain of any person or persons.

The corporation is organized solely for the purpose of promoting and preserving the musical form known as “Bluegrass”. The purpose of the organization is to educate and encourage bluegrass artists and audiences in the development, performance, and preservation of this unique form of American musical heritage and culture.  Towards this end, the Association promotes several programs throughout the year.

Programs

The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival:  The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival is held the first 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.
