Joe Val Bluegrass Festival (Feb '08)
http://www.bbu.org/jvhome.htmThis is one hum-dinger of a festival whereby festivarians take over the entire Sheraton Castle hotel (Framingham, MA) creating a 24-hour multi-faceted picking extravaganza!!!
There are picking circles everywhere from the front desk to every elevator landing to various hallways and open-doored rooms. The hotel sold out in 3 hours (but there's spillover hotels nearby).
The main stage and workshops are fun too.
It's pretty fancy to don t-shirts, button up cargo shorts, and strap on sandals for this indoor festival while the February winds whip outside.
