A Big Thanks TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS
Oklahoma’ s International Bluegrass Festival would not be possible without the volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the year. Since inception of the festival in 1997 over 10,200 people have logged some 774,800 hours of time to the organization. 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 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!
