TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS
Oklahoma ’ s International Bluegrass Festival would not be possible without the assistance of volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year . Since inception of the festival in 1997 over 9,300 volunteers have logged some 740,000 hours of volunteer time . Without the support of these people , the festival could not survive . If you ’ re able , offer your assistance in our efforts to promote bluegrass music . Make a donation , buy an instrument or piece of artwork during the auction , shop the merchandise tent for OIBF shirts , caps and more . Put a bumper sticker on your car , RV or instrument case .
Lastly , please do your part to leave Cottonwood Flats as we found it . Trash receptacles are located throughout the festival grounds . Be green !
