For the 29th year in a row, Cross Ranch State Park will be filled with the sound of string plucking and harmonica as the annual bluegrass festival gets underway.
The 29th annual Missouri River Bluegrass Festival is set for June 14 and 15 at the park, with local band Cotton Wood hosting.
Also on the lineup for the event is The Little Bluestems, a family band out of Elgin.
Headlining the festival will be the Clay Hess band and the Edgar Loudermilk band.
Events kick off Friday with both headliners performing in the evening. There will be jam sessions following the concert, with musicians and vocalists welcomed to play together into the night.
Saturday kicks off with an open stage at 10 a.m., with any performer welcomed to step up.
