This 30-plus-year-old event showcases the folksy and traditional sounds of bluegrass music. Performers travel to Rome in the late summer to jam and showcase their musical interests and abilities. The event draws several thousand people annually, and attendees oftentimes set up camp and move from group to group, pickin' and singin', their sonorous melodies spreading through the hills of North Georgia.
