The Annapolis Baygrass Music Festival returns to Sandy Point State Park on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay September 19 and 20.  Over two days, 14 national and regional progressive bluegrass, jamgrass and rock bands will perform across two alternating stages for nonstop music. Festival attendees can engage with artists in more intimate settings during interactive music workshops, savor fresh oysters and locally sourced cuisine, sip on microbrews, craft cocktails and wines, and explore a marketplace of local craft vendors.

Headliners for the 2026 festival include Sam Bush, Bela Fleck’s My Bluegrass Heart, the Yonder Mountain String Band, the Mountain Grass Unit and Little Feat.

The Baygrass tagline “Every Jam Heals the Bay” underscores the festival’s partnership with Chesapeake Bay conservation nonprofits.
