International Bluegrass Music Association's annual festival

In 2013 was the first time the IBMA has held its annual festival in Raleigh, NC. It has been such a huge success that it has been extended until 2022! The out door music portion of this festival "Wide Open Bluegrass" filled downtown Raleigh with incredible music and thousands of appreciative fans. I did my usual photo-walkabout and each day was full of wonderful images. This was an extra special photo-walkabout for me, since there were no camera restrictions at any of the performances - a real rarity these days! There are lots of photos and multiple pages to view, so take your time. You may be inspired to go next year. I promise that you will be glad if you do!
