Fifteen years of SkinnyFest is about so much more than bluegrass music. It’s about the friendships that have been made, the memories we’ve shared, and all the people who have come together year after year to make this festival something special.

A big part of that story is Richard Lewis. His vision, dedication, and love for the music and the people are at the heart of what SkinnyFest has become. Keeping something like this going for 15 years takes a tremendous amount of work, and Richard has poured a lot of himself into making it happen.

And none of it would be possible without the volunteers. Year after year, they give their time, energy, and hard work—often behind the scenes—to make sure everything comes together. They are truly the backbone of this festival, and they deserve a huge amount of credit for reaching this 15-year milestone.

SkinnyFest has become a place where people come not only to hear great bluegrass music, but to see old friends, make new ones, laugh, visit, and feel like they’re part of one big family.

Fifteen years is something to be proud of. I’m grateful to Richard, every volunteer, musician, sponsor, camper, and fan who has been part of the SkinnyFest story. Here’s to 15 years of great music, great people, and memories we’ll carry with us for a long time.

Thanks for all that attended, the volunteers and sponsorship for making this event a fun family event! Love to you ALL 🥰
