The International Bluegrass Music Association World Of Bluegrass Convention will be held at the Chattanooga Convention Center in Chattanooga, TN September 16-20, 2025. The gathering will have many Californians in attendance.
Molly Tuttle, AJ Lee, and the late Cousin Al Knoth will be among those honored at the convention.
A new convention event, Biscuits For Bluegrass, will serve breakfast to raise funds for the IBMA Foundation, which is affiliated with the IBMA and is the leading philanthropic bluegrass organization. NCBS President Michael Hall is entering the final year of his third and final term on the IBMA Foundation Board Of Directors.
The new dates (earlier in September) and the new Chattanooga location reflect the growth and development of the international organization. The Northern California Bluegrass Society is a longtime organizational member of the IBMA.
