The Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival draws over 2000 guests from near and far, for a day of good old-fashioned Bluegrass music and outdoor family fun. The Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival takes place outdoors on hay stacks, piled up for Bluegrass lovers, in a natural amphitheater nestled proudly against the Battle Point Park Astronomical Observatory.
The Park, itself, is a wonder, offering over 90+ acres of grassland trails that network together through the woods and across easement trails into The Grand Forest for an additional expanse of long day hikes. At Battle Point, there are fields for kids to run, an extensive community-built playground for toddlers, tennis courts, picnic tables with barbecue pits, all augmenting the Bluegrass Festival and annual Roller Hockey Competition.
This year the 7th Annual Bainbridge Bluegrass Festival has combined forces with the Roller Hockey Tournament, opening its food booths to both events on July 27, 2013. On the Bluegrass side, we’ll have over 2000 visitors and their families, many traveling across on the ferry, spending a glorious day at Battle Point. They’ll be looking for fun, easy food, novelties, and entertainment to fill their dancin’ hearts.

On the Roller Hockey side, there will be young, hungry athletes, fresh off the rink, sweating and eager to eat everything and anything. Hot dogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, beverages, ice cream, yogurt, cup cakes, all excellent booth ideas for this series of family events. One day, two events, your booth.
