This summer, getaway to the Ozarks for the Bluegrass & Fried Chicken festival at the Ozark Folk Center State Park in scenic Mountain View, Arkansas for two days of timeless music and good old-fashioned fun on August 23 & 24! The festival includes a Friday evening concert, a Saturday matinee, and a Saturday evening performance featuring IMBA award-winners Authentic Unlimited, SPGMA International Bluegrass Band Champions The Waddington Brothers, and more at the park's 1,000-seat indoor music venue, Ozark Highlands Theater.
