Kristmas Town Kiwanis is pleased to invite bluegrass friends and family back to Shelton! Bluegrass from the Forest 2021 is returning to the Olympic Peninsula for its 16th year in a new outdoor festival format at the South Mason Youth Soccer Park about two miles from downtown Shelton. Camping, jamming, workshops, and great bands are hallmarks of this annual event! With plans to host two stages areas, a beer and wine garden, and food and vendor spaces near the stages, the festival also will accommodate four RV parking zones and lots of grassy tent sites for out of town festival-goers or for locals who want to be part of the whole experience. New Outdoor Venue – Same great music, new activities! The event is relocating to an outdoor venue, the South Mason Youth Soccer Park – less than three miles from the former location. September is the ideal time in the Northwest to take this festival into the forest! The larger area will allow for expanded camping, additional food and music vendors and a beer and wine garden near the stage. We are also pleased to have food vendors on site as well as dinner Friday evening that you can pre-reserve to enjoy with the main stage bands!
