🎶 Big News for NIBGA! 🎶

We’re proud to announce that the Northern Indiana Bluegrass Association has been awarded a 2025–2026 Arts Organization Support Grant from the Indiana Arts Commission!

This two-year grant recognizes NIBGA’s continued work to enrich Indiana communities through live music, education, and inclusivity — from our Spring & Fall Bluegrass Festivals and monthly jams, to youth programs like Hoot Camp and our Bluegrass Scholarships.
