The Northern California Bluegrass Society welcomes the return of the International Bluegrass Music Association World Of Bluegrass. The annual convention and festival will be held September 26-30 in Raleigh, NC.
The convention will be held at the Raleigh Convention Center, while the weekend festival that follows will be held at the Red Hat Amphitheater and on additional stages throughout the downtown area. Total attendance is expected to be about 200,000 people. The NCBS is a longtime organizational member of the IBMA. Many Northern Californians will be in attendance. Palo Alto native and former NCBS member Molly Tuttle (now of Nashville) will host the IBMA Awards ceremony during the convention.
