​On behalf of the Festival steering committee, we are excited to announce that the 45th Annual Bluegrass & Chili Fest will take place September 5-6, 2025. We are honored that Tahlequah will become our new home.

The planning committee is already at work preparing for this very special year!
We know your first question is why the move-especially since everyone enjoyed last year’s
location. We have the answer. Simple but not so simple it was a date conflict with another local event. In order to keep the level of entertainment, the other activities, the quality market and food vendors, while respecting the many other area Bluegrass events and numerous other regional festivals a date change was just not possible.

We look forward to working with the Tahlequah Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, Economic Development Authority and the City of Tahlequah to present this annual favorite.

So, the news to celebrate …. while the location may be different….the music and all the fun
will be at its best in Tahlequah….September 5-6….always the weekend following Labor Day!!! Continue to check back on the website/facebook for more updates. Vendor apps etc. will be available soon.

We will see you there!
