The Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas
A Pickers Paradise, 1972 - Present
Held for five days the which include the 3rd weekend of September each year, it features family friendly entertainment on four stages simultaneously, a large juried arts and crafts fair, workshops, and acoustic instrument contests. Along with the flagship National Flat Pick Guitar Championships and the International

Finger Style Guitar Championships, the Walnut Valley Festival hosts the International Autoharp, National Mountain Dulcimer, National Hammered Dulcimer, National Bluegrass Banjo, National Mandolin and the Walnut Valley Old Time Fiddle Championships. Although locals often refer to the Festival simply as "bluegrass", it has never been JUST bluegrass. It now is a blend of all kinds of acoustic music: bluegrass, folk, old-time country, a little bit cowboy, some Irish, blues, Cajun, jazz and more; and the bluegrass is both traditional and progressive.

Not every memory at Winfield happens under the stage lights.
It’s in the paths between picking circles.
A fiddle echoing through the campground.
A song you didn’t go looking for… but somehow found you.

The Walnut Valley Festival is built on the moments you can’t plan.
And those are the ones that stay with you long after the last note fades. ❤️
