A look back at this past week’s Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival (Winfield)

With the exception of last Thursday’s crazy thunderstorms, the conditions were perfect at this past week’s Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival (known simply as “Winfield” to many).

Pecan Grove was its boozy, bustling self, the fair food was fried and delicious, and there was music everywhere. One of the best attributes of this festival is its democratic nature – there is always plenty of music to be found on any one of a dozen or so stages (some more official than others), but attendees are as likely to find some of their favorite performances at any one of the hundreds of campsites or along the park’s paths at night. Here’s a brief look at a few moments from this year’s festival.
