The Northern California Bluegrass Society welcomes the 2023 return of the International Bluegrass Music Association World Of Bluegrass, which will run September 26-30 in Raleigh, NC.
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. NCBS honorary board member AJ Lee and her band Blue Summit will be a part of a special concert at the Red Hat Amphitheater.
The convention and festival will be held at the Raleigh Convention Center, while the huge free weekend festival that follows will be held on stages throughout the downtown area. Approximately 200,000 people will attend the annual event.
