The 2024 Annapolis Baygrass Festival Daily Lineups Announced

Get ready, Fest Friends!  We are only 9 weeks away from the 2nd annual Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival taking place in Annapolis, Maryland on Saturday and Sunday, September 21–22, 2024.

If you weren’t there last year, you missed out on this beautiful festival venue on the gorgeous beach at Sandy Point State Park along Chesapeake Bay.

This festival lineup hosts a variety of music – not just the best in bluegrass!  Get ready for 14 amazing bands to play bluegrass, jam, funk, folk,  and Americana music on two alternating stages.  That means you won’t miss a beat!

Bring the whole family and grab your festival friends. This waterfront festival has so much more than just amazing music to enjoy.  We can’t wait for them to announce their workshop schedule, because last year we caught some very intimate sets from some of our favorite artists and performers.  Plus, with a focus on mental health and bay conservation, there will be educational workshops that will enlighten everyone who attends.

We also loved the addition of beachside yoga classes, yard games next to the beer garden, excellent craft vendors, and lots of fun stuff for the kids to enjoy.

What we’re excited to share is the 2024 daily lineups, because it is pretty impressive to see how stacked each day is with some of our favorite musical artists.

Here are some ways that Annapolis Baygrass Festival is different than most festivals we’ve attended: 

A commitment to their green festival practices

A mission to protect the Chesapeake Bay + a mission to promote mental health practices and a safe, sober environment + partnerships with multiple non-profit organizations to support their missions

An incredible GA experience with real bathrooms, easy parking and shuttles, beautiful beach access, shaded areas to relax, easy festival entry, amazing food and drink options, and lots of fun activities throughout the festival grounds. 

A mind-blowing VIP Experience for those who want to elevate their experience to include meals, free merchandise, air-conditioned bathrooms, backstage lounges, VIP-only bars, closer parking, and VIP entry lines. 

Our favorite foods from the Eastern Shore, including real Maryland crab cakes and raw oysters, plus special beers from local breweries, amazing cocktails, delicious wines and so much more to enjoy!
