The Lehigh Valley area has never been at a loss for bluegrass music.

The Lehigh Valley area has never been at a loss for bluegrass music.
Most prominent through the years has been the three-day Appalachian Fiddle & Bluegrass Association Bluegrass Festival, set for its 22nd year in August at Mountain View Park on East Mountain Road near Wind Gap. The Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg holds Winterfest in association with the Pocono Bluegrass & Folk Society..
And over the years there were the Americana Bluegrass festival at the America On Wheels museum in Allentown, the Lehigh Valley Bluegrass Jam at Cementon Park in Whitehall Township and the luegrass Festival by the River in Northampton.
Now there’s another entry in the fiddle fest fray.
The Lehigh Valley Bluegrass Festival, a first-time event, is scheduled to bring more than 22 performances over three days, July 23-25, to Schnecksville Fairgrounds, along Route 309..
Among the performers will be Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac, Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass, Dick Saylor, Santara Wind, Lykens Valley Bluegrass Band, Blue Roots, Thunder Creek, Dan Hubbard, Aimless Pursuit, Homespun Bluegrass, Remington Ryde, Louie Setzer and Country Grass.
