Prescott Chamber Celebrates 45 Years of Bluegrass Music in Prescott, June 20-21

The Prescott Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the return of the 45th Annual Prescott Bluegrass Festival, taking place June 20-21, 2026, on Goodwin Street and the historic Yavapai County Courthouse Plaza in downtown Prescott.

For 45 years, the Prescott Bluegrass Festival has brought together music lovers from across Arizona and the Southwest to celebrate the rich traditions of bluegrass music in one of Arizona’s most picturesque settings. As one of the few remaining free bluegrass festivals in the West, the event continues to attract thousands of visitors who enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, great food, and Prescott’s welcoming small-town atmosphere.

This year’s festival features an outstanding lineup of performers led by headliner The Sonoran Dogs, whose unique blend of bluegrass, Americana, and roots music has earned them a devoted following throughout the region. Festival attendees will also enjoy performances by The Howard Brothers, Ten Dollar Wedding, Old Pueblo Bluegrass Band, and Chris Cerna and The Bluegrass Republic.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Prescott Bluegrass Festival,” said Sheri Heiney, President & CEO of the Prescott Chamber of Commerce. “This event has become a treasured Prescott tradition that brings generations of families together while showcasing exceptional musical talent in the heart of our community.”
