Huge thanks to Justin Koch and Bluegrass Memed for creating a fantastic mini-documentary that captures the heart, heritage, and spirit of the Stapleton Bluegrass Festival.

Bluegrass Memed describes itself as a platform dedicated to bringing quality original bluegrass memes to the table—just like Bill Monroe intended—and that same creativity and love for the genre shines through in this video. 🎻

We’re also grateful to everyone who took part in the documentary and shared their time, stories, and talents to help showcase what makes this festival and our community so special.

If you enjoyed this look back at 2025, we hope you’ll make plans to join us for the 2026 Stapleton Bluegrass Festival on October 31, 2026. We can’t wait to do it all again!

🎶 Save the Date! 🎶

The 2026 Stapleton Bluegrass Festival will be held on a new date — the fifth Saturday in October — instead of our traditional fourth Saturday.

Why the change? The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) has moved their annual World of Bluegrass Convention to the fourth Saturday in October, and we want to make sure we bring you the very best artists without any scheduling conflicts.

Mark your calendars for 10/31/26 and get ready for an unforgettable day of incredible Bluegrass music! Thanks for your understanding and support as we keep the music strong and the vibes high! 🎻🌟

Congratulations! It was our honor to have Carolina Bluegrass Style appear at the 2025 Stapleton Bluegrass Festival!

What a Night. Standing on the Circle of Wood brought over from the Ryman Auditorium at the Grand Ole Opry. CAROLINA BLUEGRASS STYLE - BLUEGRASS GROUP OF THE YEAR. Over the past 3 years we have worked tirelessly to bring the sound of the Style to venue after venue. From Iowa to Vermont to Tennessee to Alabama and our beloved Western North Carolina. We have been so blessed for the hospitality, the reception and our fans. To all the Stylers out there this one is for you. Without YOU none of this would have been possible. Thank You.

🎶 Hundreds gathered at Stapleton School for the annual Stapleton Bluegrass Festival this weekend. This year’s lineup of bands included Junior Sisk, Amanda Cook, Three on a String, Carolina Bluegrass Style, Fat Man Squeeze and Cowgirl Up Bluegrass. Away from the main stage, some musicians gathered around for a jam session, entertaining attendees as they entered the grounds and walked around the festival site. The festival is held the fourth Saturday of every October and is the rural school’s largest fundraiser since it was resurrected in 2018.
