The Skiatook Bluegrass Festival is an annual event sponsored by the Skiatook Bluegrass Association. The festival has steadily grown every year and we are looking forward to putting on our fourth festival. The upcoming festival will be held June 26-28, 2008. Essential information is given below, more detailed information can be found by following the links on your left and right.
The festival is located in Skiatook, Oklahoma. Skiatook is a small friendly community located in the heart of Green Country, about 30 miles northwest of Tulsa, OK. In addition to the festival, the area offers site seeing, boating, fishing, and other forms of recreation.
We have booked an outstanding line-up of award winning bands for our 2008 Festival. The link on the right provides a brief overview of each band. The link on the left provides additional information.
In 2008 the festival will start Thursday night with a band contest and band scramble, tickets are $5. For Friday and Saturday, tickets are a modest $12 a day or $20 for Friday and Saturday. RV sites with water and electric are available at $12 per day. Tent camping is $3 a day.
An added draw of the festival is the Youth Fiddle Contest. The Youth Fiddle Contest is a fiddle competition open to children and teens up to the age of 15. There are four divisions: pee wee, junior junior, junior, and open.
The Skiatook Bluegrass Association not only sponsors the Festival, but has other programs as well. The Association activity promotes music in the schools, provides fiddles for children, and sponsors special events throughout the year.
