Bluegrass Festival was moved inside last night - grateful we have a venue and volunteers to make that happen. Fabulous talent. Supporters amazing. Thank you!

INSIDE WE GO! It’s going to be a historic night of bluegrass, and we didn’t want to risk it. The rain has been too “iffy”. Please leave your chairs at home, we’ll have seating for you. ❤️

The good news is, we go air conditioning, and lots of food (Cornhusker Beef) and cold beer and beverages! Let’s throw an old school Hootenanny! 🙌🤩🙌

We’ll be inside the Veteran’s Memorial Building 810 1st Corso, downtown Nebraska City! Doors at 4pm, show starts at 4:30pm!

06/06/2026

We’ll be making a call on the weather, if we move the festival indoors or keep it outdoors, by 1pm Saturday, June 6th.

Stay tuned, and cross your fingers the rain stays away! Either way, it’s going to be AN AMAZING DAY OF MUSIC!

🎻 3rd Annual Nebraska City Bluegrass Festival 🎶
Featuring Grammy Award Winners Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley
Saturday, June 6
Doors at 4:00 PM | Music at 4:30 PM

Get your tickets early, as this will sell out!
https://www.nebraskacitycreativedistrict.com/single-events/

Headlining this incredible night are Grammy Award winners Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley. Ickes, a 15-time IBMA Dobro Player of the Year, and Hensley, a prodigy guitarist and powerhouse vocalist, have been blending bluegrass, blues, and country into one blazing acoustic force since 2015. Known for their white-hot picking and jaw-dropping musicianship, they’ve earned Grammy nominations for albums like 'Before the Sun Goes Down' and took home a 2025 Grammy as part of the Taj Mahal Sextet. Nashville polish meets mountain-fire intensity, and it is something to witness in person.

Sharing the stage:
• Lloyd McCarter & the H***y Tonk Revival – Nebraska favorites bringing grit, old country, and that unmistakable honky-tonk spark
• The Salt Creek Ramblers – tight picking and timeless tunes
• Blue Raven Bluegrass Review – the young energy and passion grows before our eyes!

Come hungry because Cornhusker Beef BBQ will be serving up the good stuff, and the bar by Dinty Moores will keep the cups full and the stories flowing. Bring your own lawn chairs, please!

🎟 Tickets are $17 in advance | $20 at the door, Kids under 10 are free

This festival has quickly become one of Southeast Nebraska’s favorite early-summer traditions. Bring your lawn chairs, bring your friends, and settle in for an evening where the strings fly fast, the harmonies rise high, and the Nebraska sky does the rest. Let the magic begin! Year Three starts here. 🌾🎶
