Get ready for one of Arkansas’s most beloved music traditions! The Annual Mountain View Fall Bluegrass Festival returns to the Ozark Folk Center State Park on November 6–8, 2025, bringing three full days of world-class bluegrass and gospel music to the heart of the Ozarks.
This twice-yearly festival, held each March and November, showcases some of the biggest names in bluegrass alongside regional favorites. This fall’s lineup includes Special Consensus, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage (Thursday & Friday), The McLain Family Band, Frank Ray & Cedar Hill, Cutter & Cash and The Kentucky Grass, Roving Gambler Band, The Country Gentlemen Show, Southern Legacy, and Mountain View Connection.
Proceeds from the festival benefit the Music Roots Program, which teaches traditional string instruments — fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass — to youth in the Mountain View area.
