The big stars are coming out Oct. 4, 5 and 6 at the annual Nebraska Bluegrass Festival, an indoor and under-cover event at the Lancaster Event Center on the eastern edge of Lincoln, Nebraska’s capital city. The Lancaster Event Center is a multi-building and modern facility that is one of Lincoln’s showcase attractions.

This year’s festival lineup includes Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, Nothin’ Fancy, the Abrams Brothers, Wildwood Valley Boys, the Lonesome River Band, Karl Shiflett & Big Country and several regional bands.

All concerts will be held inside in an air-conditioned facility. A large tent will also be erected for jam sessions. The tent will be lighted to accommodate all-night and late-night jammers.

Festival promoters have also made arrangements to accommodate campers, including everyone from the RV traveler to the tent camper. Water and dump stations are available on the grounds and shower facilities are located inside the Lancaster Event Center.

Discounted advance tickets are available through Sept. 26.
Information, including reservations for concert tickets and camping, can be found at http://www.nebraskabluegrassfestival.com.
