SUMMERLAND BLUEGRASS GROUP

A Brief History

Bluegrass music started in the Penticton area thanks to Juliette Spear and from there an invitational get-together was held at the Glen McQuirter farm at Summerland. It was so successful that Gary and Barb Grimm, Guy and Roseanne Oliver and Lawrence Trudeau decided to have a Festival at the Rodeo Grounds in Summerland, B.C.--that was in 1996 and it has been growing ever since. People from the Western Provinces and from the U.S. have enjoyed Bluegrass music, meeting new and old friends every year. We have strived to keep Bluegrass and traditional Country Music alive, and to provide events where people can play acoustic instruments and have fun. We will strive to keep Bluegrass alive in Summerland.
