ACTIVITIES
The Bluegrass Youth Academy
A safe, fun, learning environment for youth interested in playing traditional instruments. The AFBA Academy offers fun, professional instruction at no cost to the students, with the opportunity to perform on the main stage.
The 2021 Academy will be led by the wonderful Sarah Williams Larsen and Danny Stewart and the children will be learning “Sally Goodin'”, “She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain”, and “AFBA Had a Band”. The academy begins Friday Evening, and will practice Saturday and perform Sunday.
We offer hands-on workshops by top performers and instructors. Bring your instrument and learn a thing or two that might take your playing and singing to the next level. Or just come and enjoy!
Other Kids Stuff
Kids of all ages enjoy tie-dying, movies, square dancing, basket-weaving, crafts and more. Fun and kid-friendly! Adults can get in on all the fun too!
