Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in Oak Hill
Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival fills a Catskills campground with national touring acts by day and informal jam sessions by night, as campers who arrive early turn the grounds into a running music circle well past the scheduled sets. Hands-on workshops and traditional dance instruction run alongside the concerts, and the Bluegrass Academy for Kids gives players ages 8 to 17 their own place to learn.
You hear it before you see it: a fast mandolin run, a cheer from a shaded stage, and then another pocket of music drifting out from the campground as people unfold chairs in the July heat.
