SAME FESTIVAL ... NEW NAME

Based on organizational changes, the SamJam Bluegrass Festival in Piketon, Ohio, has changed its name to the Route 23 Bluegrass Festival.

​

Although the name has changed, fans can still expect the same standard of quality and the same musical experience that made us an IBMA award-winning festival each year in the five days before Labor Day (Sept. 2-6, 2026). We still have our awesome team of sponsors, partners, volunteers, security staff, service providers and, of course, the best artists in bluegrass music.

​

Stay tuned for an updated website that will have information on the lineup, tickets, camping, the Wernick Jam Camp, and more. The new website will be www.route23bluegrass.com.

​

We'll see everyone for the Route 23 Bluegrass Festival Sept. 2-6, 2026, in Piketon, Ohio, at the Pike County Fairgrounds!
