20th Annual Northwest String Summit

Northwest String Summit (Strummit) started as a small group of bluegrass bands joining together to make a little music festival just outside of Eugene, Oregon 20 years ago. Whole families were created and raised within this festival, and have seen it in every year of its existence. Inconspicuously, a unique community of artists and musicians began to gather around bluegrass legends, Yonder Mountain String Band. They labeled themselves the Kinfolk, and they offered a community of love and acceptance to any wayward traveler that dabbled in a bit of music and fun. When the festival started to outgrow its hometown, the decision was made to move it to Horning’s Hideout and it became the thing we all know and love. 2022 was the final year of the festival, but the memories will last a lifetime.
