“Raleigh won the opportunity to host the International Bluegrass Music Association event for many reasons, including our proven ability to put together a splendid free street festival open to all.” said Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane. “For bringing the music into the streets where everyone can enjoy it, these organizations deserve all the credit. Our sponsors are the bedrock of our City’s reputation as an entertainment destination.”
The Wide Open Bluegrass Street Fest, part of World of Bluegrass 2013, is presented by a collaboration among the City of Raleigh, the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), PineCone, and the Greater Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau.
