The Hardywood Ode To Bluegrass Festival is free and open to the public, so come on out! 🎸 🪕 🎻

We anticipate a large turnout for this event. The overflow parking lot located across from our West Creek facility is no longer available for Hardywood to use as overflow parking for our guests, and we encourage using ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft, or carpooling.
